Justice Pradeep Kumar Srivastava (Retd.) of Allahabad High Court has been appointed as the lone member of the Commission to probe the matter as per section 3 of the Commissions of enquiry Act, 1952
Noting that there are traditions, customs, and people from various communities reside on the banks of Ganga, the Court asked the petitioner to show the court the contribution he made in this cause before passing any order and asked if he had dug out and cremated bodies himself.
