CHANDIGARH: Punjab and Haryana high court has actually declined to turn over the examination into the suicide of senior Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar to CBI. “There does not appear any unnecessary delay or laxity in the investigation of the case to date.
In view of the above, no case for handing over the case to CBI is made out,” the bench headed by Chief Justice Sheel Nagu observed on Wednesday and dismissed a plea looking for a CBI probe. The Chief Justice even more observed, “To satisfy the guidelines the apex court has directed to be adhered to while handing over investigation to an independent agency or not, unfortunately, there was no satisfactory answer to that from the petitioner.”

The petitioner, Navneet Kumar, 43, a homeowner of Ludhiana in Punjab, had actually sent that neither had actually any arrest been made nor any officer signed up with the examination. The standing counsel for Union Territory of Chandigarh notified the bench that 14 individuals were arrayed as implicated and 22 witnesses analyzed and their declarations taped. CCTV video footage associated to the event was taken into ownership and conserved for more probe and product associated to the occurrence sent out to the CFSL Chandigarh for more assessment, the counsel stated.
“The petitioner has no locus standi in the case. The FIR was registered immediately after receiving the complaint. The next day, a SIT was constituted by the UT police. The petition is purely a publicity stunt, as there is no delay on the part of the police in this matter,” senior supporter Amit Jhanji, representing the UT administration, informed high court. After analyzing the matter, the bench bought the termination of the petition. Kumar was discovered dead in Chandigarh on Oct 7. In a note apparently composed by him, he had actually declared caste-based discrimination by fellow officers.
