On January 30, a preliminary chargesheet was filed at a court in Kandhamal in the case relating to the killing of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader, Swami Laxmananda Saraswati, Telegraph reported. In the chargesheet, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) reiterated its claim that a group of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres were involved in the murder. According to the chargesheet, a group of assailants, armed with AK-47 and INSAS rifles, attacked the Jalespeta ashram (hermitage) during Janmasthami (a Hindu festival) celebrations on August 23, 2008, and shot dead the 82-year-old monk. They also killed Kishore Baba (45), Amritananda Baba (62), Mata Bhaktimayee (40), all of them ashram inmates, and Puranjan Ganthi (28), brother of one of the girl inmates of the tribal residential school. However, the conspiracy to kill Swami had been hatched in December 2007, said CID sources. "We are looking for 150 more people. Investigations will continue and we may file a final chargesheet," said a senior CID official. Superintendent of Police of the Crime Branch, Yatindra Koyal, said that the Maoist hand was clear from the evidence. He said: "This is a preliminary chargesheet. The case is open. More facts will come out in the course of further investigation and trials."

While perusing the Action Taken Report (ATR) filed by the Chhattisgarh Government, the Supreme Court said on February 5 that the Government cannot arm common men or those associated with the Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist vigilante movement) to curb violence perpetrated by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), Times of India reported. "We do not underestimate the enormity of the problem (Naxalism). But State should not encourage the common man by arming them to fight Naxalites (left-wing extremists)," a Bench comprising Chief Justice K. G. Balakrishnan and Justice P. Sathasivam observed. The Bench said, "...arming common men will create a dangerous situation... unless legal powers are vested, you can't arm people. Common men are under dilemma whether to support the Government or Naxalites." The Bench was of the view that instead of arming common men, the State Governments should properly utilise the funds granted to them under schemes sponsored by the Centre for the economic upliftment of the villagers and tribals.

Times of India reports that the Patna High Court on August 3 directed the State Government to give reply to a letter petition converted into a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) which has sought direction to the State Government to provide employment opportunities to Naxalites (left wing extremists) and bring them into mainstream.

The fast-track court II of Awdhesh Mal on September 9 found a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader, Shyam Sinku, guilty in an arms case and sentenced him to five years’ rigorous imprisonment (RI), Telegraph reports. Sinku, an ‘area commander’ of the Ghurabandha region in the Ghatshila sub-division of the East Singhbhum District, was arrested from the same Police station area on June 26, 2006. On being interrogated, the Maoist revealed the address of a hideout in Dumaria. Police had raided the place and recovered two rifles, including a self-loading one. A case was registered against him under the arms act at the Dumaria Police station on the basis of an FIR lodged by then officer-in-charge Manoj Kumar Gupta. Sinku, a Kumardubi resident, had told the Police that he visited the steel city a number of times with his comrades. He also divulged secrets about the outfit’s operations in Ghatshila. Sinku, considered a hard-core extremist, was involved in many subversive activities in and around Ghatshila. In 2008, a Jamshedpur fast-track court had sentenced him to 10 years’ RI after he was found guilty of a murder attempt on the village headman of Kasiabera village. Sinku was the first extremist to be convicted in a court of law by the Jamshedpur civil court.

The convener of the Maoist-backed Police Santrash Birodhi Janasadharaner Committee (PSBJC), Chhatradhar Mahato, was produced before a court on October 7 in Jhargram for the third time since his arrest on September 26. He was remanded to three days of Police custody by the court against the 18-day Police custody petition filed by the public prosecutor. A list of articles seized from various locations according to the information extracted from Mahato during interrogation was produced by the Police, which included an extortion letter written by the PSBJC to the Block Development Officer of the Binpur I block, a firearm, some live bullets and few incriminating compact discs. The defence, in its submission, pointed out that the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, under which Mahato has been booked, was not applicable in the case since the State Government had not issued any notification in the public about enforcing the law. “Apart from the fact that the PSBJC is not a declared terrorist organisation and therefore its leaders cannot be booked under the UAPA, the law is inapplicable also because no notification was done by the State government prior to enforcing it,” defence counsel Kaushik Sinha told The Hindu over telephone from Jhargram.
