Supreme Court asks Army to decide how to try personnel involved in fake encounter cases
The Supreme Court has given the army eight weeks to decide whether officers accused of a fake encounter in Pathribal in the state of Jammu and Kashmir should be tried by court-martial proceedings or by regular criminal courts. If the army chooses not to go for a court martial, the central government will have to decide within a month whether to grant sanction for the prosecution of the army officers accused in the case.
