Haryana Government will challenge the acquittal of 117 former workers of Maruti-Suzuki by a Gurugram trial court, in connection with the killing of an HR officer at its Manesar plant, in 2012.
The trial court in Gurugram had, in March this year, convicted 31 employees of Maruti Suzuki India limited (MSIl), including 13 on charges of murder, for the violence, in which more than 100 other employees had suffered injuries. The Court had also acquitted 117 MSIl employees.
Haryanas Advocate General Baldev Raj Mahajan said that an appeal against the verdict had been prepared and would be filed before the Punjab and Haryana High Court once the court vacations get over.
