COMMENTS ON
SRIKRISHNA COMMISSION REPORT
On behalf of Hindu Vivek Kendra we would like to offer the enclosed
comments on the Srikrishna Commission Report. We give here a detailed
comments on the Volume I of the report. Wherever necessary, we have
considered the comments made in Volume II, which gives details of selected
police stations, comments on depositions of some police officers,
journalists and politicians, and the Action to be Taken Report (ATR) of
the Maharashtra government. We have also based our comments on the
information given by the Commission to some lawyers who were involved with
the proceedings.
By law, a commission of inquiry is not bound by the rules that are
applicable in a court of law, and hence it does not have a judiciary role.
Also, the person heading the commission is not expected to play the role
of a judge, but as one who recommends certain actions for follow up. The
objective of the commission is not only to identify if there are certain
persons against whom action needs to be taken, but also to look at the
broader picture so that incidents like riots are not repeated. Hence, the
commission is an important forum, which, if it functions properly, will
lead to an improvement in social harmony.
In our comments there would be repetitions. This is necessary because the
same points have been repeated in the original report. We have tried to
keep asking the reader to make cross-references within our comments to the
minimum. The number at the beginning of some of the paragraphs refers to
the paragraph number in Volume I of the report.
This report has been prepared on behalf of the Kendra by Shri Ashok
Chowgule and Shri Arvind Singh. If you would like to make any comments on
