CHANDIGARH, Punjab—The terms of the commission comprising of two retired judges, Justice TP Garg and Justice Iqbal Singh, handling the Hondh Chillar case and Mirchpur case respectively has been increased by 6 months.
These judges have been asked to submit their final reports to the Haryana government by 30 June 2013.
It is doubtful if the 6 month increase in time would help the case as the investigations have been prolonged for more than 2 years without yielding any effective results.
Justice Iqbal Singh’s working headquarters are located in Chandigarh whereas Justice Garg is handling the case from Hisar. The delay in investigation is causing hurdles in the process of identifying the culprits and bringing them to justice for murder of Sikhs in 1984.
