Lucknow: Governor Ram Naik on Friday sent the Lokayukta Amendment Bill, which had a provision to exclude the chief justice of Allahabad high court from the panel to select the ombudsman, to the President for his consent. This is the third bill which Naik has sent for Presidential refernce in the past two days. A day earlier, he had sent back two other bills to the government for reconsideration.The state assembly had passed the Lokayukta Amendment Bill at a time when there was a raging confrontation between the UP government and the high court over the selection of the new lokayuykta. 

The chief justice had raised his objections to the names proposed by the government citing their questionable backgrounds.Following this, the government brought in a bill to amend the existing Lokayukta Act which removed the chief justice from the selection committee. When the bill was sent to Naik for his nod, he informed the government that the chief justice had an important role in the selection of the lokayukta and his removal from the committee would weaken the process.Meanwhile, SC set a deadline for the appointment if the Lokayukta and the state government revived the old process and invited the chief justice to join the panel.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
