Panel set to review cases against 23,000 tribals in Chhattisgarh Naxal belt -Seema Chishti

-The Indian Express

Sources told The Indian Express that the committee will start work and refer to the state government, as per its terms of reference, cases that merit a relook or withdrawal of proceedings.

A committee appointed by the Chhattisgarh government to “review cases against Scheduled Tribes and other residents of the Naxal region in the state” is set to begin its work this month. It will look at cases involving more than 23,000 tribals.

The committee of Justice A K Patnaik, a retired judge of the Supreme Court, will hold its first meeting in Raipur on October 30 and 31 as it starts looking at cases of over 16,475 tribals accused by police in a range of cases and
another 6,743 being held as undertrials, mostly in Bijapur, Sukma and Bastar districts.

Sources told The Indian Express that the committee will start work and refer to the state government, as per its terms of reference, cases that merit a relook or withdrawal of proceedings.

The terms of reference of the committee state that where it does not find material to continue matters against the accused, it would have the remit to recommend withdrawal of prosecution, dropping of cases in which police are yet to file a report before the court, or recommend appropriate plea bargaining, as laid out in the Code of Criminal Procedure. The buck on the recommendations of this committee will stop with the state government which will finally decide on the matters.
