"It is the duty of the government to find the missing people," Justices Anup Raj Sharma and Prakash Chandra Sharma Wosti ruled after hearings on a writ petition filed on behalf of 432 people allegedly disappeared by the security forces during the conflict period.
Advocate Babu Ram Giri had filed the writ petition in 2004, seeking a court order to the government to search for the whereabouts of the disappeared people.
