The Court, however, said that it is too late to reopen the discharge/ acquittal of nine erring police officials against whom cases had been registered.
The Supreme Court has refused to reopen the cases of discharge and acquittal of nine erring police officials in connection with the 1992-93 Mumbai riots which claimed around 900 lives, saying it’s too late to examine such cases.
The top court, which reserved its verdict on a plea raising issues including that of payment of compensation to the victims of the 1992-93 riots, asked the state government to file within two weeks an affidavit giving details of the information sought by the bench
