The plea also seeks setting up of a domestic and an international mechanism to protect the rights of prisoners of war
The Supreme Court has sought the Centre's response today on a plea seeking repatriation of 54 Indian army officers who have been detained by Pakistan as Prisoners of War since the 1971 war.
The plea filed by Jasbir Kaur, wife of Major Kanwaljit Singh who is among the detainees, also seeks setting up of a domestic and an international mechanism to protect the rights of POWs.
The plea also seeks the Court's directions for investigation into the killing of Captain Saurabh Kalia and four sepoys of Jat Regiment, bodies of whom were returned by Pakistan. Saurabh Kalia was an officer of the Indian Army who was killed in 1999 at the age of 22 during the Kargil War while being held as a prisoner of war by the Pakistan Army.
Today, the top court said it is an "important matter" and will be heard after three weeks. The matter was being heard by a bench of Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice Surya Kant.
