Imphal, August 20:
With the exception of 17 Assam Rifles Commandant Col Jagmohan Singh, the Thangjam Manorama Death Inquiry Commission has again issued summon letters to four of the AR witnesses to depose before the panel on August 25 morning.
The Colonel was exempted from personal appearance before the Commission as Principal Seat of Gauhati High Court had stayed the panel's notice.
Justice BK Sharma of the Principal Seat had yesterday passed the interim order saying that appearance of the petitioner (Col Jagmohan) before the Commission 'shall stand dispensed with'.
The Court, nevertheless ruled that it will be prerogative of the inquiry panel to examine the 17 AR Commandant 'in camera'.
Inspite of re-issuing the summon against the remaining witnesses, the Assam Rifles counsel pleaded before the panel that all the four are out of station.
