CJP’s Abhijeet Dipke heralded this ruling as essential justice for all participants
We are very sorry that you lost your kids,” the CJP convener said, referring to students who died by suicide.
Speaking to reporters here, Dipke thanked the Supreme Court and said the decision had brought relief to students who protested at Jantar Mantar as well as families of those who died by suicide over the alleged paper leak. It took us a month (for this),” he said. Dipke said the outcome had been made possible by people’s power and said he had been meeting several delegations over the issue.
“Our demands have been met. This is absolute justice. “I apologise to the families that we could not save your kids.
Because of shortcomings in the system, dipke said the government must also ensure that no student loses their life.
The government, he said, had now accepted the demand for compensation to the families of students who died by suicide. “The government has accepted the demands but it has to take the responsibility that not a single student dies due to paper leak,” he said. He blamed the government for the deaths and alleged that they were a result of the system’s failure.
