|November 01, 2025
DURING the hearing of four custodial torture cases involving former Ambasamudram ASP Balveer Singh on Friday, the counsel for the SC victim - one of nearly 10 persons affected -sought the transfer of one of the cases to the Special Court for SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act cases.
Singh's counsel appeared on his behalf. The SC victim and his mother were present during the hearing. Henry Tiphagne, the victim's counsel, argued that the CB-CID had mostly included police personnel from the SC and ST communities in the particular case to show that the provisions of the SC/ST (PoA) Act could not be invoked against them. "Still, there are non-SC accused persons in the case, and the provisions can be invoked," he said.
