A residents' body in Noida on October 23 said it will move the Supreme Court against the Allahabad High Court's recent order acquitting domestic help Surendra Koli and his employer Moninder Singh Pandher in the 2006 Nithari serial killings.
The District Development Residents Welfare Association (DDRWA) is consulting legal experts and has met the victim families to take the case further.
"We first thought of extending financial assistance to the victim families but after discussions it was decided that we will take up the case and bear the legal expenses of the case in the Supreme Court," DDRWA president N P Singh told PTI. "We have taken the consent of the victim families, and are consulting lawyers who are studying the high court's order. They will guide us on the way ahead in this case. We are hoping to move the Supreme Court within a week," Singh added. Ashok, who had lost his five-year-old son in the Nithari serial killings, said he has spoken to the residents' body about the case.
