Delhi HC pulls up forensic lab for lapse in Najeeb Ahmed case
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday pulled up the Chandigarh forensic laboratory for its lackadaisical approach in examining mobile phones of nine students in connection with the missing Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student Najeeb Ahmed.
A bench of Justice S. Muralidhar and Justice I.S. Mehta said that despite specific directions, the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL), Chandigarh has not expedited the process of examining seized electronic devices and asked its director to appear before it if the process is not completed by April 30.
The court direction came after the Central Bureau of Investigation's submission that the lab has sent analysis report of three phones out of nine sent to it.
The agency also stated that the forensic analysis report of three phone has conducted by a junior officer who was not qualified enough.
The court in the last hearings had asked the laboratory expedite its process and give its report to the CBI.
The court has been hearing a habeas corpus plea filed by Fatima Nafees, Najeeb Ahmed's mother, that her son be produced by police and the Delhi government before the court.
Ahmed, 27, an MSc First Year student, went missing on October 15 2016 after a fight with alleged members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad. However the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh-affiliated student body had denied any involvement.

MP CM Yadav announces credit cards, financial aid for cow keepers
Bhopal, Nov 2: The Madhya Pradesh government will provide credit cards to those rearing cows and their progeny, similar to those available to farmers, to help manage the upkeep of cattle, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced on Saturday.
“Along with the people growing crops, credit cards will also be made available to those rearing cows and their progeny to enable them to manage expenses on their care,” Yadav said during the state-level ‘Govardhan Puja’ ceremony at Ravindra Bhawan here.
He said that people who care for more than 10 cows will be given special financial aid, adding that the state government will invest and make arrangements for rearing 5,000 to 10,000 cows under the limits of municipal Corporations.
He said that people found guilty of slaughtering cows in MP will get seven years of imprisonment.
Earlier, he took part in the Govardhan Puja at his official house.
Later in Gwalior, where he attended two such events, Yadav said the state would protect the cow and its offspring.
Ministers and MLAs across the state also participated in Govardhan Puja.
Before holding this function at the state level, the BJP government in MP had organised ‘Shastra Puja’ (worshipping of weapons) on Dussehra in a similar manner, with the CM, his ministers and MLAs across the state joining in.
