New Delhi: Kashmiri Pandits, who have left their homes, family land, and everything in terrorist attacks, once again got disappointment from the Supreme Court. The country's largest 'court' has once again refused to investigate the killing of 700 Kashmiri Pandits and dismissed another petition. The Supreme Court has refused to reconsider its 2017 verdict rejecting a demand for an independent probe into the mass massacre of Kashmiri Pandits in Jammu and Kashmir during 1989-90.

The rejection of this petition by the Supreme Court is being criticized a lot on social media. Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit tweeted, "Nobody raped us. Nobody killed us. We didn't suffer genocide and ethnic cleansing. And so the Supreme Court of India dismissed a curative petition filed by NGO Roots in Kashmir seeking an SIT probe into the targeted killings of Kashmiri Pandits during 1989-90. Shame and sad." We did not expect the judiciary, legislature, and executive to all fail for Kashmiri Pandits, courts can open at night for terrorists, but not for the victims of genocide, well-known Supreme Court of India.

A bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, and Justice S Abdul Nazeer dismissed the petition filed by Roots in support of Kashmiri Pandits and said, "We have seen the curative petition and the documents related to it." In our opinion, no case is made on the basis of the criteria stated by the court in the Rupa Ashok Hurra vs Ashok Hurra case. Therefore, the curative petition is dismissed. Roots in Kashmir approached the Supreme Court in 2017 with a PIL. There was a demand to reopen all cases in the case of the death of about 700 Kashmiri Pandits. He also demanded a court-monitored probe by an independent agency like the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The organization had also demanded the setting up of an inquiry commission to probe the reasons for not prosecuting the FIR lodged by the then state government.

On April 27, 2017, a bench of the then CJI JS Khehar and Justice DY Chandrachud heard and pronounced the verdict. It was said in the order, ''We refuse to hear this petition under Article 32 of the Constitution of India. In the present petition, reference has been made to the year 1989-90. Since then it has been more than 27 years. Evidence is not likely to be available in so many years.''

Later, Roots in Kashmir filed a review petition challenging the order, which was also rejected without an open court hearing in October 2017. It was said in the petition, ''The decisions and orders can be reviewed. This order is completely based on baseless conjecture. The fact has been ignored that in some FIRs since 1996, trials are also going on. The ongoing case against Kashmiri terrorist Yasin Malik was also mentioned in the petition.''

Let us tell you that Yasin Malik had killed four unarmed officers of the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the terrorist had also accepted this on TV. It was said in the petition that, 'This Court has completely failed to notice that FIRs were registered in more than 200 cases registered for the killing of more than 700 Kashmiri Pandits, but not a single FIR chargesheet reached the stage of conviction. It has also been said in the petition that the dismissal of this petition will also affect the ongoing investigation. But, once again throwing salt on the wounds of Kashmiri Pandits, the Supreme Court flatly refused to listen to their plight.

The Supreme Court has even heard the Sikh genocide case:-

However, it is also worth noting here that the same Supreme Court also heard the massacre of Sikhs (1984 Sikh riots) that took place about 6 years before the massacre of Kashmiri Hindus, ordered an investigation and sentenced the accused. In such a situation, a serious question is being raised on the Supreme Court that, when the court can hear the massacre of 1984, why not the gruesome massacre of 1990?
