Azad’s mother had written a letter to the Chief Justice on March 20, appealing to save Azad from the possible encounter.
She had written that “whenever people are arrested without any announcement, they are generally killed in a fake encounter, and I am worried about my son’s safety”.
However, the Supreme Court did not take any action in view of this appeal, saying that neither it could be treated as public interest litigation nor the appellant has signed the application.
Azad and Hem Chand Pandey were killed in an encounter exactly after three months and ten days after the appeal was filed in the highest court.
