NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today dismissed a plea seeking a probe into mass murder of Kashmiri Pandits at the height of militancy in the Valley in 1989-90, holding no fruitful purpose would emerge as evidence is unlikely to be available at this late juncture.
The plea was made by an organisation named ‘Roots In Kashmir’ which claimed that 215 FIRs had been lodged relating to the killings of Kashmiri Pandits and other heinous offences and that none of the cases have reached a logical conclusion.
A bench of Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justice D Y Chandrachud cited the lapse of almost 27 years in raising the cause of Pandits before it as the key reason for rejecting the plea and said that now no evidence can be found. (AGENCIES)
