The Hindu
The State government approached the court urging it to recall the order passed last week.
The Calcutta High Court on June 21 refused to recall or stay directing the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) to constitute a committee to examine complaints of post-poll violence in West Bengal. The urging it to recall the order passed last week. On June 18, a five-Bench judge of the court, presided by Acting Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal, directed the NHRC to set up a committee that would visit violence-affected areas. “After hearing the parties, we do not find any case for recalling, modification or stay of the June 18 order,” the court said. The Bench also added that the State could place its submissions along with action taken before the NHRC.
