New Delhi, November 1 A special anti-corruption court in Srinagar on November 1 dismissed a plea for a CBI probe into allegations of corruption against several top politicians of Jammu and Kashmir following the death of a political worker in police custody last month.
There is no occasion, at this point, to make any direction to the CBI or state investigating agencies to probe the allegations, special anti-corruption court judge Mohammad Yousuf Akhoon said in his order.
While dismissing the application, the judge quoted several Supreme Court judgments which bar subordinate courts except the high courts to make a direction to the CBI to probe any allegation.
Syed Talib, son of the deceased National Conference worker Haji Syed Mohammad Yousuf, had moved a petition before the court of special anti-corruption judge demanding registration of a murder case and CBI inquiry into the matter. |
