SC to hear Nagaland's writ petition challenging Centre's denial to prosecute 30 army men
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a writ petition from the Nagaland government challenging the Centre's order denying prosecution of 30 army personnel accused of killing 13 civilians in a failed operation. The petition, filed under Article 32 of the Constitution, argues that the Centre arbitrarily refused to sanction prosecution despite evidence. The SC issued notices to the Centre and defence ministry, seeking responses within four weeks.
