Nitish Katara Murder: Curious Case Of 'Plea Without Petitioner' In SC Against 'Star' Witness Ajay Katara
ABP NewsThe Supreme Court in a recent order has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate a case where the petitioner denied filing any petition in the court against the Allahabad High Court order that had quashed criminal proceedings against the 'star' witness in the 2002 Nitish Katara Murder case. The Allahabad High Court has already quashed the said case against Katara, however a plea challenging the high court order was filed in the top court. After noting the facts of the case the court opined that the other respondents in the case with the able assistance of a battery of advocates in the Supreme Court and many other unknown persons had made brazen attempts to falsely implicate Ajay Katara by filing false proceedings in the name of the person in the High Court and Supreme Court, by filing false and fabricated documents. “In the extraordinary facts and circumstances, and considering the gravity and seriousness of the case, when the High Court and Supreme Court were sought to be taken for a ride and when the entire justice delivery system was sought to be put to stake, by respondent 3, the respondent, and their concerned associates and the advocates, who helped them in forging and fabricating the documents to be filed in the High Court and Supreme Court, and to pursue the false proceedings filed in the name of Bhagwan Singh without his knowledge, consent or authority, we deem it appropriate to hand over the investigation of the case to the CBI,” the court said.
