Imphal, July 08 2016 :
The Supreme
Court today passed a judge-
ment with regard to a petition
filed in September 2012 in con-
nection with the alleged killing
of 1528 people by security
forces in fake encounters.
Meanwhile the Extra Judi-
cial Execution Victims Fami-
lies Association Manipur
(EEVFAM) and the Human
Rights Alert (HRA) have
hailed the Supreme Court's
verdict.
Speaking to media persons
today, Babloo Loitongbam of
HRA said that the apex Court
passed a verdict to probe into
all the 1528 cases.
Although it is not yet
known who would be prob-
ing the 1528 cases, the Court
was earlier petitioned to con-
stitute a special investigation
team to probe them.
HRA also petitioned to
investigate into the fake en-
counter cases under a civil
Court.
It is said that the verdict
passed today was partial and
not a complete one, Babloo
conveyed.
