AGARTALA, Jan 20 (TIWN): Although the HC has notified to public the Yusuf Commission report within next 6 weeks, uncertainty still looms large over the issue of publishing the Yusuf Commission report.

Talking to TIWN correspondent, senior advocate Kalyani Roy said that the HC has set the deadline to submit the much awaited Yusuf commission report in 6 weeks and if the report is not published in the given deadline she will file a contempt of court for not disobeying the orders of the HC.

Tripura High Court (HC) given the last date  to publish the yusuf commission report on the then state health minister Bimal Sinha murder case in next 6 weeks but question arise will the state government submit the report or it will once again get delayed by few more months.

The report of the Yusuf commission was not made public by the state government yet today even after the passage of 15 years from the day the commission had submitted the report before the state home department. Sinha and his younger brother Bidyut Sinha were gunned down by the militants of the outlawed National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) on March 31, 1998.

The Yusuf commission being constituted by the state Left front government under the pressure of the opposition party had submitted the report on Bimal Sinha murder case during the year 2000, but the government had so far failed to publish the report.

The Yusuf Commission report has not been released yet today furnishing suspicious causes by the state govt. here.  The CPI-M and its Left front govt. had washed their hand from the murder incident case because they too were involved in the brutal murder of Bimal Sinha.

The Tripura government is in a fix over the high court order on a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking early publication of the judicial inquiry commission's report on the assassinations of former health minister of the Left Front government Bimal Sinha and his younger brother Bidyut on March 31, 1998.

The report of the commission, headed by retired justice of Calcutta High Court K.M. Yusuf, was submitted to the state government on January 31, 2000, but it has not yet been released or tabled in the Assembly as required by Clause-3 of Judicial Inquiry Commission Act.

Senior advocate and rights activist Kalyani Roy had recently filed a PIL on the issue which was heard by a Tripura High Court division bench has notified to publish report by January 11.

It is alleged that successive Left Front governments of wilfully suppressing the report "which contains inconvenient details of the CPM's underhand nexus with the militants".

 Despite the Commission having submitted the report in 2000, the government didn’t table the report in the Assembly. However, the HC asked the state government o publish the report within the stipulated time.

The state government had constituted the single member -Yusuf Commission with former Calcutta High Court judge – KM Yusuf. The Commission had submitted the report, but the government failed to table the report in the state Legislative Assembly.
