💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court is reviewing a plea challenging 171 alleged police encounters in Assam from May 2021 to August 2022, with concerns over violations of its 2014 guidelines on extra-judicial killings. The court will only assess if the guidelines were followed, not the merit of each encounter. The Assam government has promised to look into the case and the matter was postponed for a week.
