HC verdict on Bengal post-poll violence today

August 19, 2021 00:21

The Calcutta High Court on Thursday will pass the judgement on a set of PILs seeking impartial probe into alleged post-poll violence in West Bengal.

As per the 'cause list' released by the high court on Wednesday, a five-judge bench presided over by Acting Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal will pronounce the judgement on the matter.

The bench had ordered the NHRC chairman to constitute an inquiry committee to probe accusations of human rights violations during the "post-poll violence".

The panel, in its report, indicted the Mamata Banerjee government, as it recommended handing over the investigation in grievous crimes like rape and murder to the CBI and said that the cases should be tried outside the state.
