Supreme Court Dismisses Compensation Plea on Mob Lynching
The Supreme Court dismissed a plea by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind for Uttar Pradesh to compensate mob lynching victims, advising them to engage state authorities. The plea had sought enforcement of the apex court's guidelines following the Tehseen Poonawalla case on preventing, remedying, and penalizing mob violence incidents.

In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a petition by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, which sought a directive mandating the Uttar Pradesh government to compensate victims of mob lynching incidents.
The bench, comprising Justices JK Maheshwari and Vijay Bishnoi, chose not to intervene with the decision of the Allahabad High Court, which instructed the petitioner to redirect their appeal to the state government.
The petition emphasized shortcomings in the state's adherence to preventive, remedial, and punitive measures recommended by the Supreme Court in the Tehseen Poonawalla case judgment. Although the high court acknowledged the issue's importance, it reiterated that each instance of mob lynching should be handled individually by approaching the appropriate government authority.
