Exodus of Kashmiri Pandits and Sikhs | Supreme Court allows petitioner to make representation to Centre for SIT probe

The Supreme Court on September 2 gave petitioner 'We the Citizens', an NGO, the liberty to make a representation before the appropriate authorities, namely the Centre, for a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the reasons behind the alleged targeted killings of Kashmiri Pandits and Sikhs in Kashmir in 1990, which led to their exodus from the Valley.

"This is purely in the domain of the Executive," a Bench of Justices B. R. Gavai and C. T. Ravikumar observed orally. The petitioner's lawyer admitted that his client has not made a representation before the government.
