New Delhi, December 04 2012:
Responding to the Supreme Court's directive, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) today submitted an affidavit before the apex Court in New Delhi today.
The next hearing of the PIL filed by EEVFAM will be held on December 6 .
Earlier, the Manipur State Government had filed its affidavit in the Supreme Court on December 3, after which the SC had questioned whether the State is at war.
NHRC's affidavit along with 71 annexure of alleged extrajudicial killings that the Commission had taken cognition of since 2000 was submitted today.
Many of the cases are yet to be disposed off.
Though most of the Commission's observations were based on reports from the State Magistrate's enquiry, some of the cases presented by the Commission in its affidavit had given strong statement affirming 'fake encounters' in Manipur.
