HC to resume hearing on pleas of Sohrabuddin's brother, CBI in June

The Bombay High Court will resume in June the hearing on revision petitions filed by Rubabuddin Sheikh and the CBI, challenging the discharge of some senior police officers in the alleged fake encounter of his brother and gangster Sohrabuddin Shaikh.


Three pleas filed by Rubabuddin Sheikh and another two petitions filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation were left partly heard when the assignments of some judges in the high court were changed suddenly in February this year.


However, a single bench of Justice Nitin Sambre took up the pleas today and said that a schedule to conclude the hearing on the revision petitions will be drawn up on June 20 this year.


Justice Sambre also refused to grant any urgent hearing to Rajkumar Pandian, former IPS officer and one of the discharged accused in the case, on his request seeking permission to travel to Canada next month for a training.
