Supreme Court Rebukes CBI for Allegations Against West Bengal Judiciary

The court orders the withdrawal of a petition seeking to transfer post-poll violence cases, citing unfounded claims of judicial hostility.

The Supreme Court criticized the CBI for making sweeping allegations against the West Bengal judiciary in its petition.
The court found the CBI's claims of a hostile environment in West Bengal courts to be scandalous and unfounded.
Justices AS Oka and Pankaj Mithal warned of potential contempt proceedings against the drafter of the petition.
The CBI sought to transfer 45 post-poll violence cases out of West Bengal, citing concerns about fair trials.
The court allowed the CBI to withdraw its petition but emphasized that all grounds and objections remain open for reconsideration.
