Sambhal Violence | Aggrieved Person Can Approach Enquiry Commission: Allahabad High Court On PIL Against 'Police Atrocities'
Live LawOn Tuesday, the Allahabad High Court consigned to record a PIL plea seeking an independent probe into the alleged police atrocities during the Sambhal violence, noting that the State Government had already formed a judicial inquiry commission to investigate the incident, which is currently handling the matter. “…instead of approaching this Court on the basis of half baked facts, aggrieved person can give their evidence or statement to the Enquiry Commission,” the bench observed hearing the PIL plea filed by Association of Protection of Civil Rights. The Court also took note of a recent order of the co-ordinate bench wherein the bench had consigned to record another plea related to the Sambhal violence by allowing its withdrawal. It may be noted that the UP government constituted a three-member judicial commission comprising retired Allahabad High Court judge Devendra Kumar Arora, retired IAS officer Amit Mohan Prasad, and retired IPS officer Arvind Kumar Jain last month.
