Rights of victim equally important: Court in Nirbhaya case

A court here, while hearing the December 2012 Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case, observed that "human rights of the victims are equally important as that of the accused". "If we are conscious of the human rights of the accused persons, we should also be concerned about the rights of the victims," said Additional Sessions Judge Satish Arora, while hearing a plea filed by Nirbhaya's parents seeking directions of the court to expedite the procedure to execute the convicts.
