Rizwanur case: State counsel wants CBI report set aside
Our Legal Correspondent
Kolkata, March 13 The CBI did not follow the provisions of the Indian Penal Code while investigating the cause of death of Rizwanur Rahaman, the Advocate General of State argued before Mr Justice Dipankar Dutta of the Calcutta High Court on Thursday.
The Advocate General is opposing the writ petition filed by family members of Rizwanur, whose dead body was found on the railway track near Dum Dum on September 21, 2007.
The court directed the CBI to investigate the cause of unnatural death of Rizwanur but the CBI from the very beginning lodged a case of murder without looking into materials on record, the Advocate General argued. Wherefrom the CBI got the story of murder was a query because in the order of October 16, 2007, Mr Justice Pal never mentioned that the incident is a case of murder. Hence, the CBI has exceeded its jurisdiction and area of its working authority, and as such the report of the CBI should be set aside, the counsel added. The hearing will resume on March 18.
Rizwanur married the daughter of a businessman, who has been impleaded as an accused by the CBI. The family members still believe that the death did not occur naturally, and that it was a murder which might have been organised by the said businessmen.
