The Supreme Court on Friday (September 20) rapped the CBI for making “scandalous allegations” against lower courts in its plea seeking transfer of cases relating to the 2021 post-poll violence cases outside West Bengal. A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Pankaj Mithal said the agency cannot cast aspersions on the entire judiciary in West Bengal. “Mr Raju what kind of grounds are taken in this? How can you cast aspersions on entire judiciary. You are showing as if there is a hostile environment in whole West Bengal,” the bench told Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, appearing for the CBI.
