New Delhi. In the case in which the Supreme Court had directed a CBI probe into the fake petition filed before it, the agency recently reported that an FIR has been registered against 10 known persons (and unknowns). Out of these 10, 3 are lawyers practicing in the Supreme Court and 5 are lawyers practicing in the Allahabad High Court. The case was before the bench of Justice Bela M Trivedi and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma, which will pronounce the verdict in the case on September 20. Instructions were given for CBI investigation.
The order passed in the SLP had ended the criminal proceedings against the sole witness in the 2002 Nitish Katara murder case. However, as pointed out by the respondents during the court proceedings, the SLP was filed in an attempt to continue a false case against them (without the knowledge of the petitioner). Not taking the matter lightly, the bench came down hard on some of the respondents, their associates and advocates who had prepared forged and fabricated documents for filing in the courts to file false proceedings in the name of the petitioner.
Underscoring the responsibility of advocates towards the Court, the bench said that no professional is immune from prosecution for criminal acts. According to the sealed report presented in the court, CBI, after conducting preliminary investigation number PE02(S)/2004/SC III/CBI/ND on 05.10.2024, registered a case against the ten accused and other unknown persons mentioned therein on 22.11.2024. A regular case/FIR No. RC-13(S)/2024/SC-III/ND has been registered, so that the Indian Penal Section-120B of the Code read with Section-205,209,420,465,466,468,
