Army, paramilitary can not use excessive and retaliatory force in Manipur : SC
New Delhi, Jul 8 (IBNS) : The Supreme Court on Friday sought details of the alleged fake encounters in Manipur and observed that t Army and paramilitary personnel cannot use "excessive and retaliatory force" in the state, reports said.
The apex court made the observation while hearing a petition demanding a CBI probe into the alleged encounters, the number of which has been put at 1,528.
The SC said it is open to Army conducting its own inquiries into allegations of fake encounters in Manipur, the state dogged by insurgency for several decades.
The petitioners said it often becomes extremely difficult to prosecute the soldiers accused of fake encounters since the state is under Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act which gives sweeping power to the Army.
