WB Coal Scam Probe-'CBI Cannot March Army Into State To Investigate Offence In Supersession Of State Police': Mukul Rohatgi Tells SC

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Wednesday commenced the hearing on the challenge to the order of the Calcutta High Court whereby it allowed the CBI to investigate a case pertaining to illegal mining and transportation of coal through Railways in West Bengal, without the State's consent. In an appeal preferred by CBI, a Division Bench of the High Court stayed the Single Judge's order and allowed CBI to investigate the case without any hindrance. He indicated the relevant clause of the Letters Patent of the Chartered High Courts- ' No appeal from High Court exercising original jurisdiction' - which stipulates that there shall be no appeal to the High Courts at Madras, Bombay and Bengal from any sentence or order passed or made in any criminal trial before the Court of original criminal jurisdiction which may be constituted by one or more Judges of the said High Court. Perusing the decision in Fauji's case, Justice Chandrachud noted but whether the criminal jurisdiction relates to section 482 of the CrPC or Article 226, no LPA would lie – "They even gave the example that in the state of UP, if a plea for anticipatory bail under 226 is not entertained, there will be no LPA ".
