Overview
- A Division Bench of Justices Debangshu Basak and Md Shabbar Rashidi released all three petitions linked to the 2024 RG Kar rape-murder matter, saying it no longer hears criminal cases.
- The judges said they could not take the case on a regular or fast-track basis as sought by the victim's parents.
- The petitions comprise the family's writ alleging lapses in the CBI probe and requesting a court-monitored investigation.
- The other two filings are Sanjoy Roy's appeal against his conviction and the CBI's appeal seeking a death sentence, both still pending.
- Roy remains convicted and serving a life sentence from a January trial court judgment, as the family's counsel also accused the CBI of inaction during the hearing.
