JUSTICE SACHAR NO MORE

NEW DELHI: Former Delhi high court chief justice Rajinder Sachar died on Friday in the national Capital at a private hospital, family members said.

“He was admitted in Fortis Hospital two weeks ago. He passed away at around 12 pm,” a family member told IANS.

Sachar, who was born on December 22, 1923, chaired the Sachar Committee, constituted by then Congress-led central government, which submitted a report on the social, economic and educational status of Muslims in India.
