Any investigation into this fire should have been ordered by the High Court to enable impartial outcome. It is extremely questionable the fire took place on a Saturday late night when obviously Court life is at a standstill and casualty would be zero. With no activity visible, the scope for causing a deliberate fire seems plausible to find an escape route of a short-circuit. As stated by the CM Conrad Sangma, the wiring was very old in a century old structure, then why no effort ever made to update the wiring. There will obviously be a closing report stating the blame on old wiring….facts will be conveniently buried to cover up the motive to destroy crucial case papers of possible detrimental cases involving certain influential individuals.
