TEZPUR, March 1: Amid ongoing legal proceedings, the question of whether Assamese music icon Zubeen Garg will receive timely justice has drawn widespread attention.

However, he cautioned against drawing conclusions at this stage, noting that the judicial process is still underway. “It would be premature to comment on the outcome now, as the arguments of the accused must also be heard,” he said.

Justice Sarma, formerly of the Gauhati High Court, was speaking after attending the 54th foundation day celebrations of Tezpur Law College, where he was chief guest. During an interaction with students, he also appealed that no political mileage should be sought from the circumstances surrounding Zubeen Garg’s death, emphasising the need to allow the legal process to proceed without external interference.
