VALUES
ASSIGNMENT 2
THE VERDICT
A week after the arrests, the Bombay high court
transferred the magistrate. The Maharashtra
government , following criticism in the press
and on TV, suspended the two senior policemen
who initiated action against the girls and gave a
strict warning to other officers involved in the
case. A month later, in December 2012, all
charges against the girls were dropped. And in
July last year (2014), the National Human Rights
Commission (NHRC) directed the Maharashtra
government to pay Rs 50000 each to Shaheen
and Rinu as compensation for violation of their
constitutional rights.
CONCLUSION
From the above case, we can conclude that what
Shaheen
did was totally justified. What the
supporters of Shiv Sena did by destroying hospital
of Shaheens uncle and forcing others to show
respect to Bal Thackeray was clearly wrong.
Respect is something which should come internally
and not forced.
