New Delhi, August 04: The Supreme Court on Tuesday stayed a Bombay High Court directive asking Maharashtra govt to submit the full Pradhan Committee report on the government’s response to 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai.
The apex court while passing its order said that bringing the report in the purview of public scrutiny will not solve any purpose; hence there was no need for it.
The state government had not tabled the full findings of the panel in the Assembly during the recent monsoon session and instead presented an action-to-be-taken report.
The Supreme Court will again hear the case on August 21.
The SC was acting on a PIL filed by advocate VP Patil seeking action against top police and intelligence officers for failing to prevent the terror attack. He had also filed another application later, seeking a copy of Pradhan Committee report.
