Congress leader Deepak Baij criticised the recent Jhiram Ghati court decision, labeling it half‑baked justice and urging a re‑examination of the case.
Deepak Baij, the state president of the Chhattisgarh Congress, publicly described the verdict delivered in the Jhiram Ghati case as "half‑baked justice." Speaking at a press conference in Raipur, Baij said the judgment fails to address key evidential gaps and undermines public confidence in the legal process.
He urged the judiciary to revisit the findings, emphasizing that the victims' families deserve a thorough and impartial inquiry. Baij also warned that accepting a flawed verdict could set a dangerous precedent for future cases involving communal tensions in the region.
The Jhiram Ghati case, which has drawn significant attention due to its socio‑political implications, remains under scrutiny as opposition parties and civil society groups call for greater transparency.
Baij's remarks add pressure on the state government and the higher courts to ensure that the legal outcome meets standards of fairness and accountability.
The Congress chief concluded by stating that the party will continue to monitor the situation closely and will take appropriate political action if the verdict is not revisited.
