Missing court materials case must be solved
IN DECEMBER 2017, the Supreme People's Court made its final verdict on a case involving disputes over ownership of a coal mine in Shaanxi province. However, according to a recent report all the materials relating to the case have been "lost". Beijing News comments:
The dispute happened between two organizations in the province, which lasted 12 years in all. However, on Dec 26, a report said that all the documents of the case, including the original and a copy, had been lost.
The fact quickly went viral online as Cui Yongyuan, a famous former news anchor who has a micro blog with 19.3 million followers, reposted the report and attached four photos of the "lost" documents. Besides that, a video clip of the chief judge in charge of the case also went viral online, in which he asked who had taken the documents and why the Supreme People's Court did not call the police after the documents went missing.
