Jheeram Ghati massacre: SC dismisses NIA's plea against Chhattisgarh Police probe into larger conspiracy angle
Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a plea of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) against the Chhattisgarh Police probe into an FIR alleging larger conspiracy in the 2013 Jheeram Ghati Naxal attack that killed 29 people, including leaders of the state Congress unit. A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said, «Sorry, we would not like to interfere.
Dismissed.»
Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, appearing for the NIA, told the bench that the larger conspiracy angle into the incident should be investigated by the NIA as the main FIR of the case is investigated by the Central agency.
He said when the Chhattisgarh Police refused to hand over the records to the NIA, the agency moved the trial court, which rejected the plea.
«Thereafter, the high court also dismissed the plea against the trial court order on March 2, 2022,» he said, adding that when the main case is being investigated by the NIA, a separate FIR related to the same incident cannot be investigated by another agency.
