The Supreme Court expresses concern over the recent brutal gangrape and murder in Delhi saying there is no safety in the national capital.

New Delhi The Supreme Court today expressed concern over the recent brutal gangrape and murder in Delhi saying there is no safety in the Capital as such incidents are happening repeatedly.

"There is no safety in the city and it has to come back," a Bench of Justices K S Radhakrishnan and Dipak Misra said while pointing out that December 16 incident was not an isolated one and "it is being repeated in the city."

The Bench said it is concerned about providing safe environment for women so that they can live with dignity.

The Bench made the remarks while hearing a PIL filed by a law student pleading with the court to pass direction for making the city safer for its citizens and for setting up a Criminal Injuries Compensation Board for the payment of compensation to victims of rape.

He also submitted that licence of vehicles be cancelled for violating Motor Vehicles Act.

The court said the bus owner should not be allowed to run buses on a route on which any of his buses violates law.

"We are more concerned about safe environment where women can work with honour and dignity and that must be restored," the bench said while issuing notice to the Centre, the NCT government and the National Commission for Women asking them to file their response within two weeks.

What measure have you taken by Suja John on 11 Jan 2013

Supreme court showing their concern and what have they brought about the poor lady's gangrape?What Action have they done?Trial over trial and finally years later bringing a jurisdiction claimimg imprisonement for life when the attackers themselves have forgot what they did as well as the victim? See how Saudi Arabia executed a minor who accidently happened to fall prey to a murder of a 4 month old infant in her care.Tell me about some rape that has happened in saudi or any kind of crime that not given a verdict within such speculated time?

Late but came... by Pankaj Bajaj on 11 Jan 2013

The apex court of this country has been very late in expressing the concern over the incident of 16 December, 2012 in Delhi. But at last, it came as now the Apex Court realized it. The court should give straight guidelines to the government for maintaining safety and security in the capital region.
