Justice Lokur spoke at a webinar on 'The Wrestlers’ Struggle: Accountability of Institutions' organised by ANHAD & National Alliance of People's Movement.

"#SupremeCourtofIndia should have monitored investigation to ensure it did not get derailed, as it has done in the past."

Justice Lokur: #SupremeCourtofIndia itself concluded there was a threat. Keeping in mind delay in lodging FIR & threat perception, it should've monitored the investigation...Not with intention to see that accused is convicted, but to ensure nothing goes wrong.

Justice Lokur: #SupremeCourtofIndia has in the past monitored investigations...especially in cases involving politically well-connected persons such as Jain Hawala case in the 90's...In some other cases also because of nature of case or persons involved...

Justice Lokur: #SupremeCourtofIndia, in my view, did not fully appreciate the position when they decided to not monitor the investigation. I think they should have.
