The Bombay High Court on Thursday asked the Maharashtra government to submit in sealed cover the Pradhan Committee report which probed government's response to the 26/11 terror attacks. The Maharashtra government had not tabled the findings of the two-member committee before the Assembly during the recent monsoon session and instead presented an action to be taken report (ATR).
The Court, which was hearing a PIL on the terror attacks, directed Chief of Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) K P Raghuvanshi to remain present in the court during the next hearing slated in two weeks. The court also sought an affidavit from Chief Secretary Johny Joseph as to why sufficient equipment and bulletproof jackets were not provided to the ATS till date. The court directed the Public Prosecutor Satish Borulkar to make a statement in the afternoon session today as to whether the state was facing any security threat.
