The Story in Brief
A Goa court on Saturday granted bail to former Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre in the assault case of a doctor, but with unusual conditions. The court ordered Mhatre to stay at Nazri Resort & Lawns, a four-star resort in Goa, and barred him from leaving the state until the trial is over.
The victim's lawyer told NDTV, "Even when he sleeps, he sees Sena corporator", describing the trauma. The court's decision to send Mhatre to a resort instead of jail has drawn criticism, with the doctor's lawyer calling it a mockery of justice. The case relates to an alleged attack on the doctor, who remains in fear.
The Indian Opinion
Sending an accused to a four-star resort as a bail condition turns the justice system into a joke. If the court fears he will flee, a strict curfew and regular reporting to police serve better than a paid holiday. Watch how the Goa police monitor his stay. Will they inspect the resort log at all? A single spot check will show if this order means anything.
