Impossible for law and ethics to accept compromise with Child's kidnappers

Smt. Rubina & Others v. The Govt. of NCT & Others

Crl. M C no. 8609/2023

Before Delhi High Court

The Bench of Hon’ble Madam Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma J pronounced the judgement on 01.12.2023 holding that ‘A practice of compromising cases which involves kidnapping of innocent minor children cannot be allowed and the criminal proceedings cannot be quashed based on settlements reached between the Kidnapper and the biological parents.

It is crucial to set a precedent that unequivocally condemns the act of kidnapping and trafficking of children, ensuring that rule of law prevails in the society.’

  Facts:

1.      Inherent power of the High Court is invoked u/s 482 Cr PC for quashing the FIR for offence of kidnapping & proceedings emanating therefrom.

2.      Complainant father lodged missing report of his daughter and son on 13.12.2017 when he had gone for work at Mukundpur leaving behind wife, one son & two daughters.

3.      Eldest daughter had gone to school where as his son and other daughter had gone to the house of his elder brother which was behind his house.

4.      Thereafter his son and daughter had gone missing. He filed a complaint that some unknown person might have kidnapped his son and daughter.

5.      FIR u/s 363 was registered.

6.      Police tried to find out the missing children but could not trace out them.

7.      However, on 17.12.2017 complainant informed police that he has found his missing son.

8.      Daughter still was not found.

9.      Three years later while carrying out investigation U/S 363/365/368/370/120B/34 of IPC at Police Station Bhalswa Dairy, Delhi, the police had arrested three accused persons in connection with the present case i.e. Rubina (petitioner no. 1), Nisha (petitioner no. 2) and Kapil Kumar (petitioner no. 3) on 12.08.2020, and had also recovered the minor daughter of the complainant from them.

 Submission of the Counsel of the Petitioner

1.      The matter has been settled between the complainant & the present petitioners/accused persons.

2.      The accused persons should not undergo trial as the child now loves the accused persons and that the accused persons have been taking care of the child. I

3.      It is also stated that the accused Nisha and Kapil were not aware that children had been kidnapped, and since they could not have become biological parents of a child, a lenient view may be taken and the FIR for kidnapping and the chargesheet filed under Sections 363/365/368/120B/34 of IPC be quashed.

4.      It was also argued that the Courts in such cases should take humanitarian approach and quash the criminal proceedings and the accused persons are willing to adopt legally the girl child.

 Submission of the Counsel of the State

1.      Kidnapping of a child and recovery after a period of about three years is a serious offence.

2.      The accused Nisha and Kapil were aware about kidnapping of the child as they had bought the child for Rs. 20,000/- from the accused Rubina.

3.      Therefore, it is prayed that present petition should be dismissed and such settlements must not be allowed in the larger interest of the society

 Observation of the Court

 1.      While the criminal act itself is distressing, a new layer of complexity has arisen as the parents of the kidnapped child have entered into a settlement with the accused persons.

2.      This Court is unable to accept this argument of the petitioner’s counsel of taking lenient view as it is not only against the fundamental principles of criminal jurisprudence but also against the legitimate expectations of the society to punish those who commit heinous offences.

3.      This case brings to light the critical question of the commodification of children, a practice that goes against the moral values and ethical standards of the society.

4.      The idea that a girl child can be subjected to a transaction, where her custody is negotiated as if it was a piece of property, challenges the very principles of rule of law.

5.      The Court's role in such a situation is pivotal, as it must grapple with the desire of the parties and the broader societal implications of accepting such settlements.

Court’s Dilemma

1.      There are few cases wherein the Courts and the Judges are faced with a dilemma. The present case is one such case.

2.      It is unfortunate that the parents of the child want the child also to remain with the kidnappers since they state that the accused persons will adopt the child as On one hand, it is stated that the child is being looked after by the kidnappers, and the parents themselves do not want the girl child back.

3.      On the other hand, there is a situation that the child was kidnapped and was bought by the kidnappers, as one of the accused is unable to give birth to a child, due to some medical infirmity

Conflict faced by Court

1.      The dilemma is between the rigors of law, and the emotional attachment put forth by the complainant themselves, who presume that as a matter of right, the FIR can be quashed in a criminal case on the basis of their compromise.

2.      They presume and take it for granted that the manner in which their complaint was registered and investigated by the police, as it was a matter of their right to quash FIR & proceeding arising therefrom as they had settled with the accused persons.

Courts conscience

1.      The Court, however, has to stand by those, who cannot stand by themselves, as the child in the present case. One has to appreciate and imagine the trauma, stress, the agony of the child, who was only three years of age, that she would have gone through after being kidnapped by the kidnappers from the lawful guardianship of her parents.

2.      The statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. of the victim child narrates that how she was forcefully kidnapped by accused Rubina.

3.      Placing a child in a situation where her lawful custody is being determined through a settlement, it will have a long-term impact on the girl child, both psychological and in terms of her overall development.

4.      In the face of a crime against a minor girl child, the Court's duty is to ensure that justice is not only served, but the sanctity of child's rights is preserved, reinforcing the unequivocal message that children are not tradable entities, and their safety and well-being is non-negotiable.

5.      The fact remains that they had got the child kidnapped, made payment of money to separate the child from the biological parents and her siblings, which is a crime under the law.

6.      In case lenient view is taken in such cases and FIRs are quashed on the basis of such agreements, it would amount to defeating the principles of criminal law, and in the process weakening the rule of law.

7.      The offence of kidnapping and trafficking of children are serious offences, having an impact on the society at large as well as on the child's well-being and development.

8.      Such a settlement raises ethical and legal concerns as it involves a practice where a child is effectively being treated as a commodity, jeopardizing the child's well-being and contravening basic principles of law.

9.      The acceptance of such settlements could contribute to the perpetuation of a culture where the rights and dignity of children are subjugated to negotiation and compromise.

10.   This would set a precedent that contradicts the principles of justice and protection inherent in our legal system.

11.   Quashing criminal proceedings in such cases would send a message to society that the severity of crimes against children, even those involving kidnapping and trafficking, can be mitigated or overlooked through private agreements, thereby eroding the very foundation of the rule of law.

 Order

The petition is dismissed as there is no reason to quash the FIR or proceedings arising therefrom.

Un homme tué, prétendument par deux suspects terroristes arrêtés à Delhi, a également été décapité, ont indiqué des sources policières à NDTV. L'identité de la victime n'a pas encore été établie. La police a récupéré plusieurs parties du corps, dont sa main, qui avait un tatouage Trushul. L'homme, âgé d'environ 21 ans, était apparemment un toxicomane avec qui les deux s'étaient liés d'amitié, ont indiqué des sources. Des sources policières ont déclaré que Naushad avait été chargé de tuer des hindous influents par son maître Sohail, qui est un agent du groupe terroriste Harkat-ul Ansar basé au Pakistan. Son complice, Jagjit Singh, a été chargé de propager les activités du groupe séparatiste sikh Khalistan en Inde, ont indiqué des sources. Jagjit Singh aurait été en contact avec le terroriste khalistanais Arshdeep Dalla, actuellement au Canada. Les hommes arrêtés, selon des sources, ont avoué avoir emmené l'homme chez Naushad à Bhalswa Dairy, dans le nord-est de Delhi, les 14 et 15 décembre, et l'avoir étranglé. Son corps a été décapité et coupé en huit morceaux. Une vidéo de 37 secondes de la procédure a été envoyée à Sohail, ont indiqué des sources. La police, qui a trouvé des traces de sang humain dans la maison de Bhalswa, tente également de déterminer si les deux hommes ont commis d'autres meurtres ciblés. Ils enquêtent également sur le lien entre les terroristes khalistanais et l'agence de renseignement pakistanaise. Les hommes avaient loué la maison Bhalswa ensemble autour de Diwali et tous deux ont été chargés du meurtre. Naushad était en prison dans des affaires de meurtre et d'extorsion et y avait rencontré Sohail. En prison, il a également rencontré Arif Mohammad, accusé dans l'attaque du Fort Rouge. Sohail est allé au Pakistan et après avoir été libéré de prison en avril 2022, Naushad est entré en contact avec lui, ont indiqué des sources.

Over 1,000 bird deaths reported; Centre issues advisories on testing, culling operations

NEW DELHI: Fresh bird deaths were reported on Tuesday, including over 900 from Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan, amid cases of avian influenza in 10 states and Union territories. The Centre said it has issued advisories on testing and maintaining sufficient stock of PPE kits for culling operations. In Uttarakhand, where nearly 300 birds, mostly crows, have died over the last few days, an high alert has been sounded after samples tested positive for the influenza, while in Maharashtra, a culling exercise was ordered in parts of Latur district. Till Monday, bird flu outbreak was confirmed in Delhi, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Gujarat. “Till January 12, 2021, additional cases of avian influenza (H5N8) have been confirmed among dead crows in HCL-Khetri Nagar in Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan,” the fisheries, animal husbandry and dairying ministry said in a statement. The avian influenza strain H5N1 has also been confirmed in dead crows and a pelican at the zoological park in Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh as well as in dead crows in Jagnoli and Fatehpur village in Himachal Pradesh’s Kangra district. The confirmation of H5N1 in poultry samples from Madhya Pradesh’s Jhabua district was received on Tuesday from the National Institute of High Security Animal Diseases (NIHSAD) in Bhopal, it said. “The department of animal husbandry and dairying has issued an advisory on testing protocols to states, encouraging them to undertake screening at the state level ensuring suitable bio secure facilities,” the statement said. The ministry said that states have been advised to maintain sufficient stock of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits and accessories required for culling operations. Delhi Reports of over 50 bird deaths were received on a helpline number of the Delhi government’s animal husbandry unit and 18 samples from different parts of the city were sent for avian flu test, officials said. Report of around 100 samples is yet to arrive, they said. Testing of samples of crows and ducks had confirmed bird flu cases in the national capital on Monday, prompting the city government to impose a ban on sale of processed and packaged chicken brought from outside the city. “The report of around 100 samples is still awaited,” Dr Rakesh Singh from the Development Department said. Teams from the department visited many parks and water bodies at Raj Ghat, Bhalswa and Hauz Khas to collect samples of dead birds and droppings on Tuesday, they said. Himachal Pradesh Carcasses of 280 more migratory waterbirds of various species were found at the Pong Dam Lake Wildlife Sanctuary in Himachal Pradesh’s Kangra district, officials said. With this, the death toll of migratory birds in the hill state has risen to 4,637 with some samples taken from the lake area testing positive for the flu last week. Of the newly found carcasses, 150 were old mortalities, officials said, adding that samples have been sent for testing. Rajasthan The bird death toll in Rajasthan increased to 3,947 with 626 deaths, amid avian influenza cases in 16 districts, according to a report. Jaipur has reported the highest number of deaths at 686 birds followed by 433 birds in Jhalawar. Jharkhand In Jharkhand, a large number of crows, mynas and herons were found dead at a village in Dumka district, officials said. Forty to fifty birds were found dead at Pokharia village on Monday, District Animal Husbandry Officer Awadhesh Kumar Singh said. Samples have been collected and sent for examination to Ranchi, he said, adding that the test reports would confirm if it is bird flu or there was any other reason for the deaths. Maharashtra The administration in Maharashtra’s Latur district has ordered culling of birds in Kendrewadi and Sukni villages after samples collected from these areas were found positive for bird flu. Latur District Collector Pruthviraj B P has ordered culling of birds in an one-km radius from where birds infected with avian influenza were found in these villages. Officials said that at least 225 birds have died in Kendrewadi till Monday, while 12 hens have died in Sukni and four in Wanjarwadi of Udgir taluka. Maharashtra animal husbandry minister Sunil Kedar said the government will soon take steps to ensure that unorganised players engaged in poultry farming get insurance cover. Uttar Pradesh In Uttar Pradesh, as many as 74 birds, including 51 crows and nine pigeons, were found dead in the last 24 hours in Kanpur, officials said, adding that samples have been sent for testing. Samples of a couple of dead birds in the Kanpur zoo had tested positive for bird flu earlier. Some herons and crows were found dead near the Bharua Sumerpur railway station in Hamirpur and samples have been sent for examination. Uttarakhand High alert has been sounded across Uttarakhand with the samples of two dead crows testing positive for bird flu in the state. Samples of the dead crows sent to NIHSAD tested positive for avian influenza on Monday, forest officials confirmed.

I’ve been fascinated with this landfill at Bhalswa slum since I saw a late breaking news story break on BBC world news reporting on a fire that was engulfing the slum. Hi levels of methane attribute to the landfill being an explosion hazard a time bomb ticking. Residents are forced to drink toxic sewer water and hunt for treasure rags in every new load that gets gifted to the dump. It’s total organized anarchy on top of the mountain and there is an obvious hierarchy amongst the queue number you get in line to pick when the truck dumps. Yaks comingle amicably with the junk yard dogs feasting on plastic with want of green and children many of who are at least third generation and birthed in or near proximity to the landfill have invented a game of avalanche trying to burry their cohorts in a pile of still toxic sewer water.
