Armed Forces Tribunal directs fresh examination of Sukhna land scam | The Armed Forces Tribunal on Monday gave interim relief
to former Military Secretary Lieutenant General Avadhesh Prakash in the Sukhna army land scam. The court granted permission to Lt. General Prakash to cross-examine
witnesses who earlier gave statement against him before the Court of Inquiry.
According to Lt. Gen Prakash's lawyer, both of them were not present during the
cross examination of the eight officers, who provided evidence against Lt. Gen
Prakash's involvement in the land scam. The court also ordered the re-examination
of Lt-Gen Ramesh Halgali and Maj-Gen P C Sen, who have also been indicted by the
Court of Inquiry into the Sukna case. The tribunal directed the Court of Inquiry
to submit a report in two months and said it can decide on the court martial of
Lt. Gen Prakash only after receiving Court of Inquiry report. Earlier in January,
with a direction from Defence Minister A K Antony, Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor
ordered for the Court Martial of four senior officers who were indicted by the
Court of Inquiry for misusing their positions. |
