Q.1 The position of collector for a rural area has been given to a young official named Rohit Kumar. At the federal level, his remarkable work from previous posts was recognised and respected. As a result of his efforts, he really got the PM’s Excellence Award for Public Administration, making him one of the youngest officials to accomplish so to date. A number of Hindu organisations took offence at how specific religious figures were represented in a certain film. They asserted that the movie was unjust and immoral and would violate the religious sensibilities of Hindus. In a situation involving law and order, he must deal with violent riots that are being held as a kind of protest for the film while being helped by the police. A number of fanatics are rioting across the nation as a result of people damaging movie theatres. Rohit Kumar has issued a prohibition order in accordance with section 144 CrPC, but despite his best efforts, the situation is not getting better. People started throwing rocks at each other instead of the mob dispersing. The only thing the police could do was fire two rounds into the air. A young man who was walking home from a long day of labour in his field was regrettably wounded by one of the bullets as the group dispersed. He died on the spot. On verification, Rohit found that he was the only earning member of a family of six. Answer the following questions in context of the above incident: (a) Do you justify the police firing? (b) What will be the best course of action to compensate for the death of the young person? (c) In future if such a situation arises, what should be the ideal way of dealing with it?
