New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday refused
to entertain a petition filed by Himanshu Sabharwal
challenging acquittal of ABVP activists in the case of killing
of his father Professor H S Sabharwal in Madhya Pradesh.
A Bench headed by Justice P Sathasivam asked the
petitioner to approach the appropriate High Court for remedy.
The apex court pointed out that as per procedure the
acquittal order of the sessions court should be challenged
only in the High Court.
In the instant case, Himanshu had directly approached
the Supreme Court instead of appealing in the High Court.
Professor Sabharwal, head of the Political Science
Department of Madhav College, Ujjain, died in August, 2006,
after a fracas in the college over student union elections
when he was allegedly beaten up by ABVP activists. Later,
he succumbed to his injuries in a hospital.
