During the communal violence in Kandhamal, there have been more than 3,300
complaints, but only 820 odd FIRs were registered. The rest of the
complaints were not even registered. Among these complaints, only 518 cases
were charge sheeted. The remaining cases were treated as false reports. And
out of these 518 cases, 247 cases disposed off. The rest of the cases are
pending before the sessions and magistrate’s courts. And among those cases
which have been disposed off, many are already acquitted. According to
study conducted by Supreme Court Adv Vrinda Grover and Law Prof Saumya Uma,
it is reported that the conviction rate is as low as 5.13% of the charge
sheeted cases. If you take complaints as a yardstick of justice process, it
is just around 1% only.

None of the criminals responsible for destruction are in jail today. The
murderers, rapists, looters and destroyers are today running scot free.
However, seven innocent persons were in jail for 11 years have come on a
bail with fabricated cases.
