Top Court Asks RG Kar Victim’s Family To Move High Court For Further Probe

While Sanjay Roy, the main accused in the RG Kar case, was on January 20 sentenced to life term by a Sealdah sessions court, the parents sought a further probe to ascertain the alleged role of some other persons, including the former principal of the RG Kar hospital, Sandip Ghosh.

Through senior advocate Karuna Nundy, they sought a clarification from the Supreme Court that the high court could continue hearing their petition for a further probe.

Nundy pointed out that the single judge bench in the high court required that the parents obtain a clarification from the Supreme Court since CBI had earlier submitted its status reports regarding the investigation and trial in the matter to the top court. CBI’s appeal demanding the death sentence for Roy is also currently pending in the high court.
