The Gauhati High Court on Friday sought details from the Assam government on progress made in the investigation into the "police encounters" in the state since May last year.

The court gave 60 days to the state to file the details. The matter has been listed for the next hearing on September 29.

"The State shall bring on record appropriate materials indicating the progress made in each of the case and further indicate whether the guidelines issued by the Apex Court in the case of People's Union for Civil Liberties and another Vs. State of Maharashtra & Ors...are followed in later and spirit or not," the court directed.
