Tomorrow, the Supreme Court bench of Justices Arun Mishra and M.R. Shah will
take up a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by a human rights group named
Punjab Documentation and Advocacy Project (PDAP) on behalf of more than eight
thousand families, who lost their loved ones in extra-judicial killings carried
out by the Punjab police during the late
80’s and early 90’s.
Notably,
the PDAP had moved this public interest litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court
demanding justice after a thorough investigation into these extra-judicial killings
in July this year.
The
PIL lists the detailed information collected from 150 RTI applications,
resulting in data of several cremation grounds between 1984 and 1995. It also
provides evidence of 1,400 encounter FIRs claiming that the victims were unidentified
militants.
It
is learnt that the petitioners will be represented by senior advocates Colin
Gonsalves and Satnam Singh Bains.
