An appeal against the Gauhati High Court judgment has been filed at Supreme Court of India by the petitioner advocate Arif Jwadder in the form of a Special Leave Petition under Article 136 of the Constitution of India.
Appeal Against Gauhati High Court Judgement
It is mentioned the Gauhati High Court disposed off the PIL petition which was filed before it which sought an independent investigation into all the fake encounters.
The Assam Government admitted to 171 police encounters wherein 56 people died from May till August 2022. The court didn’t give any cogent directions. The petition has been filed through renowned public interest lawyer Mr Prashant Bhushan.
Advocate Arif Jwadder had earlier appealed to the Gauhati High Court seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the matter. It may be noted the court rejected it stating that no separate probe is required since the state government is conducting separate investigations.
