In India, a Sikh judge ordered a Muslim accused to pray for 21 days.
According to Indian media, the accused was found guilty of beating and quarreling in Malegaon, Maharashtra, on which the Sikh judge ordered the accused to pray 5 times a day for 21 days as a punishment.
According to reports, the accused was also ordered to plant 2 saplings in a nearby mosque as expiation.
According to Indian media, the magistrate also directed the agriculture officer to monitor the compliance of the court order.
The Sikh judge ordered that the police should be used if the accused did not comply with the court order.
According to Indian media, the ‘Probation for Offenders Act’ empowers the court to admonish or warn the offender.
The Sikh judge said that the purpose of punishment is to make the accused remember the crime and not repeat it again.
The Sikh judge said that according to the accused, he is a devout Muslim but cannot offer prayers.
He said that it would be appropriate to release the accused on the condition that he should offer five-time prayers for 21 days.
On the other hand, Prosecutor Nasreen Memon said that the judge has given this decision with the idea of reformation of the accused.
He said that the judge was of the opinion that if he was sent to jail for a minor crime, he would become a major criminal.
According to the Indian police, in April 2010, Rauf Khan, a rickshaw driver, killed a motorcyclist.
