Justice Markandey Katju writes: In his concurring judgment in the case relating to abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul of the Indian Supreme Court, recommended setting up a ‘Truth and Reconciliation Commission’ in Kashmir to investigate and report violations of human rights in the state from the 1980s, to heal the wounds. Perhaps Justice Kaul got his idea of setting up such a Commission from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission set up in South Africa in 1995 after the apartheid regime was dismantled.
