The case was taken up for hearing, with the parents requesting a reinvestigation into the 2012 case, in which the convicted individual, Sanjoy Roy, was sentenced for the heinous crime.
During the hearing, the top court raised concerns about the existing legal proceedings, noting that a conviction order against Sanjoy Roy had already been passed in the case. The bench asked the victims' lawyer whether it should proceed with the petition or wait for the outcome of a similar plea filed at the Calcutta High Court.
The parents had sought the SC's intervention to explore new evidence and reconsider the investigation, but the SC warned the counsel representing the victims to be cautious with their submissions. The Court stressed that the legal process had already culminated with a conviction, making any further action highly sensitive.
In its last hearing on January 22, the top court had deferred a verdict on the case, citing a lack of time. The case, which has triggered nationwide outrage, was originally set to be heard for the first time after the sentencing of the convict, Sanjay Roy, who was awarded «life imprisonment till death» by the Sealdah sessions court in Kolkata on January 20.
