The Supreme Court will today resume hearing in the case of alleged rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district. The apex court had earlier stayed the trial of the accused till today in the case before the Sessions judge. A three-judge bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, took the decision. The eight-year-old girl belonging to a nomadic Muslim tribe was abducted, drugged, gang-raped, tortured and killed in January. Meanwhile, the father of an eight-year-old girl on Sunday said that he has full faith in the judiciary and has devoted his life to ensure justice is done to his daughter. “I am satisfied with police investigation and will not rest till justice is done in the case. I want the accused to be given exemplary punishment for their brutality,”the father of the victim told PTI on phone from Ramban district where he along with his family has been camping for the last few days. Earlier, the apex court, in a stern warning, had said it would transfer the Kathua gang rape and murder case from the local court in Jammu and Kashmir in the "slightest possibility" of lack of fair trial, saying the "real concern" was to hold proper prosecution. The victim's father had moved the apex court, apprehending threat to the family, a friend and their lawyer Deepika Singh Rajawat. A separate plea was also filed by two accused seeking that the trial in the case be held in Jammu and the probe handed over to the CBI.
