A CBI investigation into the Lakhimpur Kheri incident is "not a solution... because of the persons (involved)" the Supreme Court said Friday as it heard a PIL, or public interest litigation, on Sunday's violence and the death of eight people, including four farmers.
"CBI is not a solution, for reasons known to you... because of the persons... better some other person looks into (this)," Chief Justice NV Ramana told senior lawyer Harish Salve.
The court's observation was in response to one of the petitioners' requests - that the investigation into the Lakhimpur Kheri incident be handled by the central agency.
"Is there any request by the state (Uttar Pradesh) to hand this over to the CBI?" the court asked Mr Salve, to which he replied: "State has not made such a request... entirely in your lordships' hands... if you are not satisfied with the investigation, hand it over to the CBI."
