Justice G T Nanavati, who probed the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, is likely to submit his report to Home Minister Shivraj Patil next week, official sources said on Thursday.
The term of the one-man inquiry commission had ended on January 31. Justice Nanavati had said he would submit his report to Patil.
While Justice Nanavati was listed in the appointments of the home minister on Thursday evening, the meeting had to be cancelled as Nanavati was away in Ahmedabad to probe the Gujarat riots.
Official sources said the appointment was apparently fixed without consulting him.
The Nanavati Commission is the second judicial body to probe the sequence of events that led to large-scale violence against the Sikh community in the aftermath of the assassination on October 31, 1984 of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi [Images].
