The Supreme Court has denied admission to a petition seeking a CBI investigation into the Sandeshkali case in West Bengal.
The Supreme Court has denied admission to a petition seeking a CBI investigation into the Sandeshkali case in West Bengal. The petition, filed by a lawyer on behalf of the victims, was turned down during the hearing, prompting the petitioner to withdraw the plea.
The bench, comprising Justice BV Nagarathna and Justice Augustin George Masih, expressed reservations about comparing the Sandeshkali case to the situation in Manipur. They emphasized that the High Court, which had already taken suo-motu cognizance of the matter, is best suited to assess the situation and order a thorough investigation.
The High Court, acknowledging the seriousness of the matter, has taken the initiative to assess the situation independently. Recognizing its capability to order an SIT investigation, the High Court aims to ensure justice for the victims.
