Jammu, Nov 24: Allaying fears of Army on the issue of revocation of AFSPA, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said the state government could consider restoring two provisions of CrPC to make them applicable to the state so that security forces have legal protection.
“They (security forces) have pointed out that in all other states of the country, Army and para-military enjoys protection under the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), which is not applicable in Jammu and Kashmir,” Omar said in an informal chat with reporters last night.
He said his government may include the ommitted sections of CrPC to make the law on par with with the rest of country. When CrPC was applied for the state of J and K, two sections--45 and 197-A—dealing with Army and security forces were deleted.
While section 45 deals with protection of members of the Armed Forces from arrest, section 197-A deals with prosecution of civil servants.
