INQUIRY COMMISSION

Udayan Guha not summoned yet for hearing

 

COOCH BEHAR, Feb. 4: The hearing of the Justice Narayan C Sil Commission of Inquiry on Dinhata Police firing is to begin on 14 February. It will be held for three days at the hearing room of the Commission in the Annexe Building of the Circuit House in Cooch Behar.

 

District Forward Bloc secretary Mr Udayan Guha said he was yet to be called by the Commission to attend the hearing. Earlier, he had expressed his desire to the Commission wanting to appear for hearing in Kolkata. "As there is an FIR lodged against me, I like to appear before the Commission in Kolkata because I like to take legal help from my lawyer Mr Sekhar Basu there," the FB leader said.

 

"During my testimony I may produce the collected bullets, pictures and other documents related to the incident. I will also submit the copies of the circulated leaflets containing the demands for which we had organised the law violation programme to prove that our programme was a scheduled one and no prepared police force was deployed on that day to contain a huge crowd," Mr Guha said.

 

Though he was not summoned yet he wishes to appear at the hearing on 14 February to represent one of the two men summoned on that day for cross-examination. []
