State has made out case in appeal against transfer of cases to CBI, says top court
In a fillip to the West Bengal government, the Supreme Court on Tuesday said the State had “made out a case on the face of it” in its appeal against the decision of the Calcutta High Court to hand over post-poll violence cases, involving murder and rape, to the CBI.
“On the face of it, you have made a case for issuance of notice. Let us see. We will give a short time for respondents to file counter,” Justice Vineet Saran, heading a Bench also comprising Justice Aniruddha Bose, addressed senior advocate Kapil Sibal, for West Bengal.
The court issued notice to the Union of India and other respondents in the case. It fixed the hearing for October 7. The court directed West Bengal to serve the petition on the respondents.
