A division bench of AP High Court consisting of Chief Justice Kalyan Jyothi Sen Gupta and Justice G. Rohini directed Govt. of AP to submit an affidavit explaining the reasons for giving compensation to the Muslim youths who were implicated after the Makkah Masjid Bomb blast case and were exonerated later.
These orders was passed on a PIL submitted by Mr. S. Venkatesh Goud. In his petition Mr. Goud challenged the action taken by Govt. of AP for giving compensation to the Muslim youths and questioned the provision under which it was given. Judge also enquired whether any court had given the orders for paying compensation. The division bench also directed the officials to stop payment of the remaining compensation. The Court ordered the Govt. to submit a report explaining under which rule this compensation was given. Govt. was given 2 weeks time for submitting the affidavit.
