SHILLONG: The five leaders of the Hynniewtrep Youth Council who had created ruckus outside the High Court premises last January have expressed unconditional apology after the court issued notice to them.
The five HYC leaders are general secretary Robert June Kharjahrin, organising secretary Nickson Dohling, vice president Donboklang Kharlyngdoh, advisor Anthony Kharbuli and assistant organising secretary Issac Basawiamoit. They were present at Friday’s hearing with their council K Paul. Principal contemnor Adelbert Nongrum was also there.
The respondents to whom notices were issued filed their additional affidavits seeking to express remorse over their conduct and submitted unconditional apology.
Copies of the affidavits were given to concerned counsels and later to the principal contemnor. The matter has been listed for hearing on October 21.
The case relates to contempt of court by Nongrum after he criticised a December 14, 2014, order of Justice S.R Sen stripping headmen of their powers.
Since there was sloganeering outside the court premises during the hearing of the contemptuous remarks by the former CEM of KHADC on January 27, 2015, the High Court had ordered for a CBI inquiry.
The CBI submitted its report on June 30, 2015, to the court naming the five HYC members.
