New Delhi, August 21 : In the Manipur violence case, the committee comprising three retired women judges appointed by the Supreme Court submitted its three reports to the apex court. Chief Justice DY Chandrachud asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to cooperate after seeing the report.
On August 7, the Supreme Court constituted a three-member committee under the chairmanship of Gita Mittal, former Chief Justice of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court. It includes Justice Shalini Joshi and Justice Asha Menon. The court appointed former IPS officer Dattatreya Padsalgikar to supervise the CBI probe.
The Supreme Court said that our effort is to restore a sense of faith in the rule of law. Apart from the investigation, this committee will also look into other things. This includes relief, remedial measures, etc. The CBI will investigate 11 FIRs related to crimes related to women. Five DSP-level officers from different states will be included in these.
