"So far as the transfer is concerned, it is appropritae for the investigating agency to complete the investigation," a Bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde said.
A three-judge bench headed by CJI SA Bobde felt it appropriate that the high court should monitor the case, considering the fact that the court is already examining a suo moto proceeding on the “hurried cremation” of the victim. The apex court was hearing a batch of pleas which also sought a transfer of the trial from Uttar Pradesh to Delhi as several lawyers, including lawyer-activist Indira Jaisingh, expressed their apprehension that a fair probe was not possible in Uttar Pradesh.
