New Delhi, Mar23: The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Karnataka, Goa and Maharashtra
governments to file detailed affidavits within four weeks in the MM Kalburgi
murder case.
Author MM Kalburgi was allegedly murdered in
Dharwad in Karnataka in 2015.
A three-judge bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra and also comprising Justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud was hearing the submissions from Krishna Kumar, lawyer appearing for Umadevi Kalburgi, wife of the deceased author, MM Kalburgi.
Umadevi Kalburgi had moved the apex court seeking a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the murder of her husband MM Kalburgi.
Umadevi, in her petition, had alleged that the same organisation's shooters were allegedly involved behind the murders of her husband MM Kalburgi, Pansare and Dabholkar. She said the Karnataka Police probe was in a sorry state.
Kalburgi's widow had in the last hearing, in January, told the top court that it seemed that there was a similar pattern in the alleged murders of her husband, Dhabolkar and Panasare and there has to be a coordinated probe into all the three cases.
Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Pinky Anand, senior law officer representing the central government, told the CJI bench that the NIA (National Investigating Agency) was a specialised agency to investigate national and inter-state terrorism cases and was prohibited by the NIA Act to probe into murder cases.
The case may come up for hearing again after four weeks. UNI
