1. Counsel for the State of Maharashtra submits that pursuant to the report of
Justice Srikrishna, various actions had been taken by the State of Maharashtra
and the details of such action taken have been filed in the form of affidavits in
six volumes and Shri A.K. Raghuvanshi, the then Additional Commissioner of
Police has filed the supporting affidavit. Counsel for the various petitioners
submits that still the Government have not done the needful and it is alleged that
many of the police officers who should have been prosecuted have not been
prosecuted and even departmental actions have not been taken against them. It
is alleged that many defendants were not initiated though the Commission had
recommended such action. It is further alleged that many of the deserving
victims have not been compensated by the State Government though it was
declared that the compensation would be paid to all these victims and persons
who were really deserving to get compensation were not paid though
appropriate evidence was furnished to the offence regarding the death of the
victims in this regard.

2. Under the above circumstances, the four petitioners may go through the six
volumes of affidavit and verify the action taken by the State Government. In
case if there is any serious lapse on the part of the Government, the petitioners
may point out the serious lapse made on the part of the Government by filing a
proper affidavit in a tabular form containing the details of the action taken by
the State Government and the failure if any, on the part of the State Government
and a reference may also be made to the Commission's Report. All these facts
are to be filed in this Court within a period of eight weeks.
