Gandhinagar: The
Gujarat High Court has directed the central and state governments to
file affidavits and submit action taken reports on the damage caused
to religious structures during the 2002 Gujarat communal riots.
The bench of Chief Justice S.J. Mukhopadhaya and Justice Akil
Kureshi questioned central government counsel P.S. Champaneri and
state government counsel P.K. Jani on the issue Monday.
The bench wanted to know whether the National Human Rights
Commission (NHRC) report on the subject was placed before parliament
and the state assembly.
According to the survey conducted by the NHRC, 535 religious
structures were damaged during the riots.
The bench was hearing a public interest litigation that claimed the
government needed to compensate for the damage caused to the
religious structures.
The petition claimed that the government failed to discharge its
duty to protect life and property, and hence should compensate for
these.
