| AFSPA row: 387 more Army officers challenge prosecution, SC to hear plea on Sept 4 | | | Agencies
New Delhi, Aug 31: The army men have extended their support to the petition filed jointly by 355 other officers as they feel Army personnel were being "persecuted" and proceeded against for performing duties in such disturbed areas.
The filing of the plea by serving Army officers holds significance as the CBI's SIT has recently filed chargesheets in two separate encounter cases in Manipur against armed forces in which murder charges have been slapped.
An apex court bench comprising justices Madan B Lokur, S Abdul Nazeer and Deepak Gupta is likely to hear the plea. The petition says an extraordinary situation of confusion has arisen with respect to their protection from prosecution.
In 2015, Justice Jeevan Reddy Commission recommended the central government to revoke the AFPSA, saying that Act is a symbol of hate, oppression and instrument of high handedness. |
