NDTV
The Supreme Court reviewed the CBI's status report in the RG Kar case and asked them to submit a fresh report after four weeks
The Supreme Court today refused to transfer the RG Kar rape-murder case trial outside West Bengal and rebuked a lawyer who claimed that the people of the state were losing faith in the police and the judiciary. Responding to a lawyer's request to transfer the case, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said, "Yes we have done it in cases like Manipur. But we are not doing anything like that here. No such transfer."
At the outset, the bench, also comprising Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Misra, went through the status report filed by the CBI, which is investigating the heinous rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor in Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in August.
"We have seen the sixth status report filed by CBI, which indicates that the Additional Sessions judge has framed charges punishable under Sections 64 and 103 of BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita). The next hearing is on November 11. Since the investigation is underway, we refrain from making observations. Let an updated status report be filed after four weeks," said the Chief Justice, who retires this Sunday.
