Army Told to Disclose Macchil Fake Encounter Details -Gaurav Vivek Bhatnagar

Following a petition filed by RTI activist, Venkatesh Nayak, the Central Information Commission has ordered the army to disclose the proceedings of its court martial from 2013.

The Central Information Commission (CIC) has directed the army to disclose all proceedings related to the general court martial which was constituted by it in 2013. The court martial was tasked with the trial of the accused in the extra-judicial killing of 3 people in Macchil in Jammu and Kashmir on April 30, 2010. The court martial had later convicted five army personnel for a fake encounter, including a colonel and a captain.

The orders of the CIC came on a petition by RTI activist and programme coordinator at the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, Venkatesh Nayak. In January 2015, he had filed a request for information under the RTI Act, 2005, asking for the details of the court martial proceedings from the army.

He demanded the entire text of the findings of the court martial, a photocopy of the chargesheet, a photocopy of the sentence given to the convicted army personnel, a photocopy of all the communication and a photocopy of all the proceedings of the court of inquiry that looked into the killing of five persons in Pathribal, in the Anantnag district of Kashmir in the year 2000.

Earlier last week, the Jammu and Kashmir high court had dismissed a petition that sought to reopen a probe into the Pathribal encounter case and hand it over to the CBI.

The army had closed the case in January 2014 and exonerated all the five officers accused in the case for want of evidence.
