Unless a free hand is given without any influence and pressure from any quarters, it would be difficult to prevent such a situation,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>The remarks were made by the bench during the hearing of the petition on the issue of dalit killings in Mirchpur village in Hisar District of Haryana in April 2010 in which large scale violence, rail and road blockades, including destruction of public property, were witnessed after people from Jat community were arrested.<\/p>\n<p>The case has resulted in the conviction of 15 people.<\/p>\n<p>Three were sentenced to life term and five accused were jailed for five years while seven others were released on probation of one year as most of them were first-time offenders.<\/p>\n<p>The bench during today&#8217;s hearing said while the situation in the central part of the country can be noticed and steps are taken by the agencies, the situation in other parts, including the north-eastern states, is different where road blockades continue for three months.<\/p>\n<p>The bench gave a specific example of blockade of Agra-Bharatpur road for 40 days during the agitation by the Gujjar Community demanding reservation in government jobs.<\/p>\n<p>During today&#8217;s hearing, Solicitor General Rohinton Nariman, emphasised the need for coordinated action by various law enforcing agencies like local police, Government Railway Police (GRP) and Railway Protection Force (RPF) to prevent such a situation rather than coming out with a cure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Things like this should not happen. There is no coordination between local police and Railway police. We have to prevent such happenings rather than curing,&#8221; he said and sought some more time to come out with suggestions on the issue of framing a guidelines for fixing responsibility for all such losses on state governments for failure to maintain law and order in their respective state.<\/p>\n<p>The court was informed that Railways suffered a loss of over Rs 33 crore during the agitation by the Jat community against the police action on the Mirchpur dalit killings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court on Tuesday stressed the need for taking preventive measures and giving free hand to police without any influence to counter the menace of road and rail blockades across the country during strikes and agitations in which public property also becomes a target. &#8220;Why does the government not take preventive means&#8221;, a bench [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[2383,5331,5713,47726],"class_list":["post-14260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-top-law-news","tag-justice-g-s-singhvi","tag-justice-s-j-mukhopadhaya","tag-road-blockades","tag-supreme-court"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Supreme Court slams rail, road blockades<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Supreme Court on Tuesday stressed the need for taking preventive measures and giving\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/supreme-court-slams-rail-road-blockades\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Supreme Court slams rail, road blockades\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Supreme Court on Tuesday stressed the need for taking preventive measures and giving\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/supreme-court-slams-rail-road-blockades\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LegalindiaCom\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2011-11-01T14:41:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2011-11-01T14:41:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.legalindia.in\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/sp-150x99.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Legal India Admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Legal India Admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/supreme-court-slams-rail-road-blockades#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/supreme-court-slams-rail-road-blockades\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Legal India Admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/5bed6309aad9141bf373167e6730d0fc\"},\"headline\":\"Supreme Court slams rail, road blockades\",\"datePublished\":\"2011-11-01T14:41:13+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2011-11-01T14:41:15+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/supreme-court-slams-rail-road-blockades\"},\"wordCount\":465,\"commentCount\":1,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/supreme-court-slams-rail-road-blockades#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.in\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2011\\\/11\\\/sp-150x99.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"Justice G.S.
