Kochi: The High Court will set up a large bench to examine the petitions related to the Hema Committee report. A five-member broad bench including a woman judge will be formed. The Division Bench presided over by Acting Chief Justice A Muhammad Mushtaq stated this while considering the petition filed by producer Sajimon Parayil, questioning the release of the Hema Committee report.
The Acting Chief Justice will decide who will be on the bench. It is reported that the complete form of the Hema Committee report will be submitted in a sealed envelope on September 9.
The court directed the government to submit the full version of the report while considering the public interest petition filed by Thiruvananthapuram native Paichira Nawaz seeking action on the issues in the report.
