The Supreme Court will hear on Monday pleas filed by three petitioners seeking a Special Investigation Team probe into the alleged mysterious death of Central Bureau of Investigation judge Justice B H Loya.
A bench, headed by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, will hear the petitions.
The top court had asked the Maharashtra government earlier in the month to submit the post-mortem report of the CBI judge, who had died in alleged suspicious circumstances in 2014, citing that the 'matter was very serious'.
According to reports, Maharashtra-based journalist B S Lone and Congress leader Tehseen Poonawala had filed independent pleas seeking a fair probe into the death of Justice Loya, who was hearing the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, involving various police officers and Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah. -- ANI
