Family is pained; please don't harass us, says Judge Loya's son

January 14, 2018 18:43

Anuj Loya, the son of Judge BH Loya -- who was hearing the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case -- in a press conference on Sunday said that he didn't have any suspicion about his father's death.

A family representative at the press conference said, "Many people are trying to harass family members. They are trying to create panic in the family. There was no suspicion in the mind of family members. I request media to convey to NGOs and lawyers and activists not to harass their family members."

This comes two days after the top judges of Supreme Court took on Chief Justice Dipak Misra alleging 'selective' allocation of cases to benches among other things.

The practice, they claimed, adversely affected the judiciary. Two petitions asking for an investigation into the judge's death were assigned to a bench that the judges reportedly disapproved of.

The four top court judges reportedly voiced their protest before chief Justice Misra.

Judge Loya's family has alleged that his death in 2014 was linked to the only case he was handling at the time - the CBI's case of murder against BJP president Amit Shah in the Sohrabuddin fake encounter. "
