CBI reprimanded on the petition seeking to transfer the cases related to Bengal violence to another state; Court made a harsh comment
Supreme Court: The Supreme Court has reprimanded the CBI on the petition seeking transfer of Bengal violence cases to other states. The court has rejected this petition of the CBI.
The Supreme Court has taken the CBI to task for demanding the transfer of the cases of violence surfaced in West Bengal after the elections to another state. The CBI has demanded the transfer of those cases to other states in the Supreme Court. The apex court directed the central agency to withdraw its petition and expressed serious objection to the statements in the petition. To wit: that partiality has occurred in the hearing of cases in all courts.
The division bench comprising Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice Augustine George Masih that heard the case, voiced its displeasure over the petition filed by CBI and underlined the point that the central investigating agency has leveled very serious allegations against the entire judiciary of this state. You are calling all the courts of West Bengal hostile. The judges of the district judiciary cannot protect themselves. You are saying that the trials are not being conducted properly.
According to a Live Law report, the Supreme Court in its order said, "It has been repeatedly stated on behalf of the CBI that a hostile atmosphere prevails in the courts. It is very unfortunate that the central agency has chosen to level allegations against the courts of West Bengal."
