On Tuesday, 2 Lawyers have written a letter to the Apex Court asking that the investigation of the Lakhimpur Kheri incident should be conducted in a time-bound manner under the supervision of the Supreme Court.

The letter sent by 2 Advocates sought direction from the Ministry of Home Affairs & police to register an FIR & punish the ministers involved in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident during farmers protest in Uttar Pradesh on Oct 3.

It also sought setting up of high-level judicial inquiry under the supervision of Top Court involving CBI in stipulated time.

They asked that the letter be treated as Public Interest Litigation.

It said that "The human right violation in a democratic country like India coupled with the police excesses at the end of the government of Uttar Pradesh is the scope, scale & ambit of the present communication replicate with the breath of fundamental right of the petitioner who is practising advocates of this Court".
