Abstract
Last month, the Supreme Court of India ruled that armed forces personnel and police cannot use excessive or retaliatory force in Kashmir and the northeast. Surabhi Chopra writes that this marks a shift from the de facto immunity that many soldiers operating in areas covered by the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act have exploited to date. However, she also notes that the government are unlikely to welcome the development, or support investigations into human rights abuses in the borderlands.
