GUWAHATI: The Supreme Court on Monday sought the response of the Assam government and others on a plea against an order of the Gauhati High Court that dismissed a PIL seeking an independent probe into the encounter killings in Assam under the supervision of the Gauhati High Court.

Delhi-based lawyer and activist Arif Md. Yeasin Jwadder had filed Special Leave Petition (Crl) No. 7929/2023 after Gauhati HC declined to order an independent probe related to the encounter killing in Assam. Senior Lawyer and Activist Prashant Bhushan appeared in court on Monday. Earlier, Jwadder had filed a PIL (PIL/86/2021) in Gauhati HC in this regard.
