The Hathras case should be heard in entirety by the Allahabad High Court, the Supreme Court said today in response to appeals that it monitor the CBI probe into the issue which has evoked nationwide outrage. Prior to issuing an order, Chief Justice SA Bobde said it was not in favour of hearing any more petitions on the issue. "We don't need the assistance of the whole world. We have already heard enough. We heard the state, the accused and the victim," CJI Bobde said.
Appearing before the court today, the family of the 20-year-old woman who died last month after brutal torture and alleged gang rape, said the CBI should file its status reports before the Supreme Court and not the state government.
