Calcutta HC Orders Transfer of Probe into Birbhum Explosions to NIA

News 18  

Calcutta High Court has ordered transfer of investigation into explosions in Birbhum district to the NIA from the state CID holding that the central agency has precedence in the investigation of scheduled offence. Vacating an earlier stay by a single bench of the HC in the NIA probe, a division bench comprising Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Bivas Pattanayak in an interim order directed the CID to cooperate with NIA and to transfer all documents related to its probe into the 2019 explosion in two residential houses in Birbhum if required. "Investigation by the central agency whose powers are much wider than the state agency would be more effective and enure to the ends of justice," the bench observed in its order passed on April 18. Noting that the central agency has precedence in the investigation of scheduled offences as laid down in Section 6 of NIA Act, the bench said "A prima facie case for transfer of investigation in favour of NIA has been made out."
