The Supreme Court on Wednesday sought a report from its secretary general as to why a letter written by the Unnao rape survivor to Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, apprehending threat to her life, was not placed before him.
“Unfortunately, the letter is yet to see the light of the day and yet the newspapers flashed it as if I have read the letter,” Justice Gogoi said.
The observations came when senior lawyer V. Giri, who is assisting the Court as an amicus curiae in child rape cases, sought urgent listing of the Unnao rape case.
The Court also asked the Uttar Pradesh authorities to file a status report by Thursday on the accident of the Unnao rape case victim.
