Says senior advocate R.L. Batta, who is arguing the matter for the petitioners, “The argument advanced by the Haryana government is ridiculous, to say the least. Tell me, if a state like Haryana doesn’t require a human rights commission, which state does?”
While senior government functionaries refused to say anything, a senior officer who is part of the team handling the matter confirmed that the government was doing a rethink of “all aspects connected with the demand” and a final decision would be taken in a few days.
The hearing resumes in the high court on January 15.
