New Delhi, Jan 20: Justice S N Phukan, a retired
judge of the Supreme Court, today took charge as the chairman
of the commission of inquiry probing into the allegations of
corruption in defence deals.
Taking charge after a fortnight of his appointment as
chairman to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of his
predecessor in controversial circumstances, Justice Phukan met
the staff at the office of the commission in the Annexe of
prestigious Vigyan Bhawan.
Justice Phukan, who hails from Assam and heads the state
Human Rights Commission, was appointed by the government on
January four but he delayed taking over the responsibility to
celebrate 'bihu' a local festival.
With the taking over of Justice Phukan, the commission
of inquiry is expected to resume its proceedings soon.
