Kishtwar, Nov 22: Justice (Retd) R C Gandhi who is chairing commission to probe August 9-10 in Kishtwar and Padder riots, today left for Jammu after completing the first leg of investigation in which commission visited four times to Kishtwar and once to Padder, beside cross examining 228 witnesses, canceled over 40 affidavits as the deponents refused to acknowledge the contents of the affidavits.
During visit to Kishtwar, Justice (Retd) Gandhi also has treated 22 affidavits as canceled after they (deponents) fail to appear before the commission of inquiry despite repeated summons. On the last day of his scheduled visit, Justice Gandhi also canceled 21 affidavits submitted by the residents of Padder as they while deposing before the commission said they only signed the affidavits written by the local advocate and have no knowledge about the contents written in it.
The sources within the commission said that Justice Gandhi might take up the matter of submission of fake affidavits either with the government or with the Chief Justice of High Court. However, the sources also said that Mr. Gandhi in next leg of 'probe' will summon former SP, DC Kishtwar and others govt officials for cross examination at his Jammu office. After completion of 2nd part of investigation, Justice Gandhi will start final drafting of the report and is likely to submit it in 2nd week of December 2013. |
