Indian Supreme Court reserves verdict on West Bengal's lawsuit against CBI for post-poll violence investigation without state approval.
The Indian Supreme Court has reserved its verdict on whether West Bengal's lawsuit against the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is maintainable. The state government claims CBI is investigating post-poll violence without obtaining required state approval. The Delhi Special Police Establishment Act 1946 states the Central agency should seek state government consent for such actions. The Centre argues the state cannot halt CBI probes into any matter. The top court is focused on deciding a legal issue and will not entertain political arguments.
