By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI July 3. The National Human Rights Commission has deputed a team to Vadodra to make its own assessment of the Best Bakery case. In a statement, the NHRC said that in view of the ``seriousness of the issue involved in the order of acquittal'' in the case, it had decided to depute its own team to ``inspect the records of the case, examine the judgment and all other relevant materials''.

The report will be submitted in a week. The team comprises the NHRC registrar, Ajit Bharihoke, its DIG (Investigation), Sudhir Chowdhary, its Special Rapporteur in Gujarat, P.G.J. Nampoothri.

The team may associate any local lawyer in consultation with the Special Rapporteur. It called on the Acting Chief Justice of the Gujarat High Court, the trial court and the State Government to extend all possible assistance to the team to permit it to ``carry out the mandate of the Commission''.
