A few examples of anti-Muslim verdicts reflecting how Indian judiciary succumbed to Hindutva influence in the recent past

1. In June 2022, Indian Supreme Court appeared as the biggest tormentor of the minorities after it refused to stop the government from razing houses of Muslims in #UttarPradesh

2. In instances of setting hardliners free, in 2018, a court overturned the conviction of senior Bharatiya Janata Party (#BJP) member Maya Kodnani who was sentenced to 28 years in jail for her part in the murder of 97 people in 2002 in Gujarat. Her co-accused Bau Bajrangi also was given relief in his sentence.

3. In Samjhauta Express case, a special court in 2019 acquitted all four men involved in bombing the train linking India and Pakistan. In 2007, at least 64 people onboard Samjhauta Express were killed after a Hindu right-wing organisation carried out an improvised explosive device (IED) blast.

4. Muslims in India still feel the pain of illegal demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992, where the Indian Supreme Court after 28 years of the incident, in 2019, held that the site belonged to the birthplace of Lord Ram and awarded the land to a trust for construction of a temple.

5. In Hyderabad’s Mecca Masjid Blast case, a special court in 2018 acquitted all accused Including Swami Aseemanand. The incident had resulted in the killing of nine people and left 58 others injured. All the accused belonged to organizations practicing Hindutva ideology.
