Calcutta High Court hearing case in relation to West Bengal post poll violence.

#calcuttahighcourt #postpollviolence #WestBengal

Adv Subir Sanyal submits even today people are not coming out to give complaints.

Sanyal says an independent agency should probe. Does not want governmental intervention.

"So according to him every investigating officer in State is tainted,". Kapil Sibal.

Bench says NHRC was asked to submit report and should confine to it.

"You (NHRC) should not tell how to go forward based in report. That is for petitioner and State to argue."

"You (NHRC) are not a contesting party. You are not allowing others to make submissions," Calcutta High Court

Adv Priyanka Tibrewal for petitioner says from day 1, my grievance has been against State and police authorities.

The NHRC report concurs with my allegations.

The police is not investigating. That is why an SIT is needed: Priyanka Tibrewal

Even last week people have been found hung and violence is going unabated: J Sai Deepak

#calcuttahighcourt #WestBengal

System has proved to be derelict and has failed to inspire confidence: Sai Deepak

Sr. Adv. Mahesh Jethmalani says NHRC was called in after State failed.

Now after NHRC report, State wants to investigate: Jethmalani

#calcuttahighcourt #nhrc

State cannot be heard today after complete inaction and in some cases, complicity: Jethmalani.

Jethmalani says there should be independent agency. That is what happened in Gujarat riots where State said let an independent agency probe. That is the attitude State should adopt: Jethmalani.

Sr. Adv. AM Singhvi says the argument of petitioners is that State govt should not have chance to rebut.

"Their argument is that State is useless, police is nikamma," Dr. Singhvi.

NHRC report is a politically motivated report. The homilies on independence of NHRC is laughable: Dr. Signhvi for State of West Bengal.
