Himachal Pradesh high court on Wednesday cancelled the bail granted to four accused students in the Aman Kachroo ragging case and directed them to surrender before the fast track court at Dharamsala by today.
Quashing the order of the fact track court, Justice D.D. Sood also asked it to hear the case on a day-to-day basis and avoid unnecessary adjournments.
The fast track court at Dharamsala had granted bail to the accused Ajay Verma, Naveen Verma, Abhinav Verma and Mukul Sharma, charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, on July 17. 19-year-old Aman Kachroo, a MBBS student at the R.P. Government Medical College, Tanda (Kangra) was allegedly thrashed by four seniors on March 7, 2009 and succumbed to injuries the next day. Welcoming the court’s order, Aman’s father Rajendra Kachroo said, “It is a good development. The message that had gone across the last time was incorrect and it has been rectified. I am glad to say it has been rectified.”
He also welcomed the court’s instruction to the lower court to conduct the trial on a daily basis. “There will be no adjournments, no wastage of time and that is probably a more important thing,” he said.
