General Indicted Again… Whom To Blame Now !!

Read my previous blog posts on the matter in addition to  here, here and here.

In  the atonement to its previous CoI Indian Army had revisited the facts and Court Of Inquiry was reconvened in order to permit accused General   to cross examine the witnesses which allegedly was not followed in previous Court of Inquiry (though there were speculations during the previous CoI that the officer was present during the proceedings but refused to cross examine the witnesses). 

Well the fresh CoI has completed its investigations and cross examination of witnesses again as challenged and petitioned for by the accused General in Armed Forces Tribunal and Hon'ble Supreme Court few days back and has not blessed the accused General with any primary reprieve.

The CoI has submitted its fresh report of findings and has comprehensively found Lt Gen Avdhesh Prakash (the senior most Army Official so far to be indicted and have faced Court Martial) guilty again. Seems that how hard you may try but law certainly finds its upper hand, more so after the Hon'ble Supreme Court’s summary dismissal of the petition by the General  anticipating “more skeletons might tumble out of the closet” and suggesting general to revisit the Supreme Court if he finds himself aggrieved by the findings or decisions of the Army’s CoI (again).

So the fresh CoI report has been sent over to Army Judge Advocate General’s  Branch presently headed by Maj Gen C S Nair. The report is to be put up to Gen V K Singh as then Eastern Army commander who recommended summary dismissal of the officer.
