The Supreme Court (SC) today transferred to itself two cases from the Bombay high court (HC) about the alleged suspicious death of CBI judge BH Loya. The SC then also asked other HCs not to entertain any PILs on the issue relating to Loya's death and posted the matter for hearing on February 2. As the Maharashtra government presented documents related to the Judge Loyadeath case, the SC said the issues raised in the current petitions are serious and "we must look into all documents with utmost seriousness." The apex court then asked all parties to file any and all documents relating to judge Loya's death.
A PIL seeking a probe into the judge's death was filed before the Bombay High Court on January 8 by the Bombay Lawyers' Association (BLA). Today, the BLA's counsel, Dushyant Dave, said the documents produced by Maharahstra were incomplete. In fact, he said he had documents obtained under RTI to show there were indeed suspicious circumstances attached to judge Loya's death.
