NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday gave states one week to implement its judgement ordering the setting up of a procedure to prevent mob lynching incidents.In July, a bench of Chief Justice (CJI) Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud said state and central governments have to take preventive, punitive and remedial measures to stop lynching incidents in the future . CJI Misra said the Centre and states have to file compliance report on a series of directions given by the SC to prevent and punish lynching.In its judgement, the apex court also recommended to Parliament to enact a separate law to punish offenders participating in lynching. It also said that horrendous acts of mobocracy cannot be tolerated and cannot be allowed to become a new norm."It has to be curbed with an iron hand… no citizen can take law into his hands or become a law on to himself," said the top court.
