NEW DELHI: During the hearing in the Supreme Court on the developments in the Unnao rape case , when a lawyer suggested that it was the National Legal Services Authority's statutory duty to quantify the compensation for the survivor, Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi asked, "Is what is happening in accordance with law? We will be failing in our duty if we do not grant interim compensation. And you are talking of statutory duties?".An emotional amicus curiae V Giri said the SC must grant exemplary compensation and provide security to the victims of violence. The bench asked the UP government to pay Rs 25 lakh interim compensation to the survivor within 24 hours. It also asked the state to respond on Friday whether the survivor's uncle Mahesh Singh, who is lodged in Rae Bareli jail after being convicted in an attempt to murder case and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment, needed to be shifted to Tihar jail in Delhi.A letter by the survivor's mother, sister and aunt, though dated July 12 but placed before CJI Gogoi on July 30 afternoon, triggered the fast-paced events. The women had complained of constant threat to life from main accused Kuldip Singh Sengar's men who were coercing them to settle the case. Just after the bench assembled at 10.30am on Thursday, the CJI asked solicitor general Tushar Mehta to get a responsible officer from the CBI to brief the bench at noon on the status of the Unnao rape case and other cases.Mehta spoke to the CBI director and informed the court that the investigating officers were in Lucknow and requested if the case could be taken up on Friday. The CJI declined and asked the CBI director to take a telephonic briefing and apprise the bench about the status of cases at noon.At noon, CBI joint director Sampat Meena was present with the SG. They said apart from the rape case in which the BJP MLA is an accused, there were three other cases - one relating to the custodial death of the survivor's father, who was beaten up prior to arrest in a fake case, second against jail inmates who beat up the father, and the third relating to a second instance of gang rape of the survivor by persons who are co-accused in the first case.Chargesheets have been filed in all cases but charges are yet to be framed by the court designated to take up cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.The SG and the CBI joint director gave a report on the line of investigation undertaken in the truck accident case, in which two of the survivor's aunts were killed and she and her lawyer were critically injured. Both the survivor and lawyer are on ventilator support at KGMC. The SG told the court that the CBI would take three months to complete the investigation.The bench said, "We will give you seven days and you will be required to file a chargesheet before the same court in Delhi where the other cases are being shifted." Later, the bench relented and said that though it would like the CBI to complete the probe in seven days, it would put an outer limit of 14 days for completion of probe and filing of chargesheet.
