Judge who said 'Rathore being harassed'

A shocking conflict of interest has come to the fore n the Ruchika Girhotra molestation case. The presiding judge was in fact, Ruchika's next door neighbour and is said to be harbouring some amount of hard feelings towards Ruchika's family. However, Judge Khaturia of the Punjab and Haryana High Court -- the man responsible for the meager 6 month sentence handed to ex DGP SPS Rathore, seemed to be more concerned about the accused rather than the victim. Justice Khaturia contended that it was Rathore, who was being harassed. Speaking to TIMES NOW, Ruchika's friend Adhunika made the shocking revelation saying, "Khaturia, who was the judge of HC, who dropped the charges of Section 306, you would be amazed to know that he was the next door neighbour of Ruchika. Knowing that, Khaturia knows that if you know a person you are not allowed to make any judgement in that case. He not only gave the judgement, but also dropped the charges of abetment to suicide." "It was some political interference or SPS Rathore's influence. If you know somebody, even if he or she is your neighbour, you cannot give any bias decision. Either he should have sent this to some other judge or done something about it," added Adhunika. Copy rights by google
