Defense is a Right That Can’t be Ignored: Court to CBI
The CBI’s approach to framing charges has come under legal scrutiny. The court has emphasized that the defendant must be granted sufficient time to prepare their defense. "The defendant ought to be afforded sufficient time. They are entitled to this by law," a legal expert stated. The court noted that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is actively handling the matter, and should the lower court's ruling be inadequate, the central government holds the right to challenge the decision.
It may be recalled that the Calcutta High Court has dismissed the West Bengal government’s petition seeking the execution of Sanjay Roy, who was convicted for the rape and murder of a female doctor. The ruling was issued on Friday by a division bench comprising Justice Debangshu Basak and Justice Md Shabbar Rashid.
As legal proceedings advance, the RG Kar corruption case continues to unfold with close scrutiny from the judiciary. The scheduled submission of the CBI report on February 10 will be a crucial moment in the investigation. Meanwhile, the rejection of the West Bengal government’s execution petition in the Sanjay Roy case underscores the High Court’s legal interpretation of due process as enshrined under Constitution.
