Panel headed by Justice B.S. Chauhan (Retd) probed killings of 8 police personnel & Dubey's subsequent encounter, and submitted a report to UP govt in 2021. Report made public this week.
The commission said the evidence citied in the case supported police's version of the incident and the injuries suffered by policemen could not be self-inflicted or fabricated.
The panel submitted its report to the state government Monday, eight months after it was set up. The inquiry commission has reportedly found no evidence of wrongdoing by UP police.
The 3-member SIT, set up by the UP govt, also recommended action against 90 police officials for their alleged involvement in helping gangster Vikas Dubey build his empire.
A bench headed by CJI Bobde said that there were enough safeguards to ensure fair inquiry by the judicial panel into the encounter which took place in Kanpur.
The bench said it would not allow petitioners to cast aspersions on the inquiry commission, which would probe into the killing of 8 policemen and subsequent encounters.
