Kochi, May 14: While hearing a petition seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into the Murder case of RSS worker Sanjith, the Kerala High court observed that the Social democratic party of India and Popular front of India (PFI) are extremist organisations, which have not yet banned in India.
Justice K Haripal further also observed that SDPI and PFI are extremist organisations indulging in serious acts of violence. He said, "No doubt, SDPI, and PFI are extremist organisations indulging in serious acts of violence. All the same, those are not banned organisations."
The Kerala High Court further noted that both SDPI and PFI have a history of attacking members of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. It added, “It is the common case that activists of the SDPI/PFI were behind the attack.”
“There were clashes between the activists of the SDPI/PFI on the one hand and activists of the RSS on the other. There are series of attacks and counter-attacks between them,” Justice K Haripal emphasised.
During the hearing, the Kerala High court also pointed out that clashes between RSS and the two Islamist outfits had continued even after the brutal murder of A Sanjith. It continued, “This Court takes judicial notice of the fact that even after this incident, after completing arguments in this case, two such incidents have happened in Palakkad.”
However, the Court dismissed the petition of A Sanjith’s wife on the grounds that a CBI probe would lead to a delay in proceedings and increase the chances of accused PFI workers getting bail. “If an investigation is handed over to the CBI, that would result in further delay in the proceedings. It is not in the public interest. That may also pave way for raising demands by the accused persons for releasing on bail. Given the mindset of the rival groups, if the accused persons are released on bail that would entail further clashes and may lead to a law and order situation,” the court said in its order.
It should be noted that Sanjith was hacked to death in front of his wife in Ellpully, Palakkad. In broad daylight, the assailants who came in the car waylaid Sanjith's bike and attacked him.
