Can't show sympathy to convict: Delhi Court

The court said hitting a public servant shows that he did not have any regard for law enforcing agencies.

New Delhi: A man, convicted of assaulting a policeman on being stopped for violating traffic rules, has been sent to nine months in jail by a Delhi court which took a stern view saying it can’t show “undue sympathy” and a message must be sent that law is not weak.

The court, which also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on Mukesh Kumar, said hitting a public servant shows that he did not have any regard for law enforcing agencies. In the present case, the nature of offence is such that this court is not inclined to grant the benefit of probation to the convict.
