SC names new judge to probe Gujarat encounters
AHMEDABAD - The Supreme Court which had last week rejected the Gujarat government’s unilateral decision to appoint a new chairman for the committee to monitor investigations into 22 police encounters in the state during 2002-2006, on Monday suggested the name of a former apex court judge to head the panel.
The court, however, told the media not to embarrass the new appointee by revealing his name as no formal order had been passed and a consensus was yet to be arrived on his name.
While hearing two public interest litigations (PILs) filed by veteran journalist B G Verghese and poet-lyricist Javed Akhtar on February 24, the two-judge bench had taken the Narendra Modi administration to task for not informing it about the appointment of former Bombay High Court Chief Justice K R Vyas in place of former SC judge Justice M B Shah after the latter declined the offer to head the panel. The court which on January 25 had asked Justice Shah to probe all the 22 encounters and submit his first report in three months, said the appointment should have been made by consulting the court as it had passed the order.
On Monday, Justice Aftab Alam and Justice Ranjana Desai suggested the name of another former apex court judge to the Gujarat Government as a replacement for Justice Shah who quit as the head of the panel on personal and health grounds. However, Gujarat’s Additional Advocate General Tushar Mehta sought deferring of the hearing till Friday on the ground that he has to seek instructions. —
