Delhi H C women lawyers write to CJI for action against apps derogatory to Muslim women

New Delhi: Taking strong note of the surfacing of another app derogatory to Muslim women, Delhi High Court Women Lawyers Forum has sent a letter petition to the Chief Justice of India N V Ramanna demandding a time-bound investigation in the case to bring the culprits to book.

The forum consisting of about 150 women lawyers practicing at the Delhi High Court and the Trial Courts slammed the authorities for acting too little or too late against the crime.

Through‘Bulli Bai app which surfaced on the web, the culprits have trolled and subjected Muslim women to surveillance and illegally used their photographs to put them up for auction as maids, they said.

” We believe that the “Bulli Deals”,App happened because no one was punished for Sulli Deals which appeared last year. Although FIRs had been previously registered in the matter of Sulli Deals, no one was arrested and the investigation has been a non-starter in the same’, ‘ the letter said.

The Delhi women lawyers said that the lack of action on the Sulli Deals case emboldened the culprits to use pictures of free
thinking women who are considered independent with dissenting voices .

”Included in the list is the spouse of a sitting Judge of a High Court ( exemplifying the sense of impunity that the culprits have that they are above the law ) .This amounts to a grave attack on the independence of the judiciary and may have a chilling effect on the ability of other Muslims to take up the position of being judges of the High Court and other courts,” they said.

They appealed to the top court to ”monitor the criminal investigation being conducted by Mumbai Police and ensure that the investigation is carried out into the Sulli Deals and Bulli Bai App incidences including investigation into the sources of funding and / or handlers of the persons who set up Sulli Bai & Bulli Bai App, money trail that financed the said App identifying the master minds behind the surveillance of Muslim women illegally auctioned vide the App.”

”We have been watching with grave concern the growing threats of violence and humiliation targeted towards the minority
community, especially because there appears to be a deafening silence from the Central and State Governments to unambiguously deprecate the same and / or tardy to little too late action by the law enforcement machinery,” the Forum said in its letter.
