Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, one of the five judges on the Bench which upheld the abrogation of Article 370, on Monday recommended the setting up of an “impartial Truth and Reconciliation Commission” to investigate and report on the violation of human rights perpetrated by both state and non-state actors in Jammu and Kashmir since the 1980s and recommend measures for reconciliation.
Justice Kaul suggested the setting up of the commission expediently, “before memory escapes”.
“The exercise should be time-bound. There is already an entire generation of youth that has grown up with feelings of distrust and it is to them that we owe the greatest duty of reparation,” the judge observed.
