Calcutta HC asks Bengal govt to file affidavit on NHRC post-poll violence report
The Hindu
In an indictment of the Mamata Banerjee government, the NHRC inquiry committee report had said the situation in the State is a manifestation of “Law of Ruler” instead of “Rule of Law”
The Calcutta High Court on July 22 directed the West Bengal government to file an affidavit stating its position on the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) report on post-poll violence in the State. A five-judge Bench hearing a clutch of PILs alleging that people were subjected to assault, made to flee homes and property was destroyed as a result of post-poll violence in Bengal, asked the State government to file its affidavit by July 26. The matter will be taken up for hearing again on July 28.More Related News
