Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the communal riots in Muzaffarnagar on 07.09.2013, emphasizing the state's failure to protect citizens' fundamental rights under Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court recognized the need for rehabilitative measures for victims and the establishment of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) or CBI inquiry to ensure impartiality in the investigation. The Court held that the state must take immediate action to restore order and protect the rights of all affected communities, thereby upholding the rule of law and justice.
