Ranchi, Sept 16: The apex investigation agency of the country, CBI, will take the help of Interpol for the investigation of Dhanbad’s famous judge Uttam Anand’s murder case.
The CBI made it clear before the Jharkhand High Court while submitting a sealed progress report in the case.
The CBI, while sharing its plan to take the help of Interpol, submitted before the court that it has filed an application to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs for further investigation in the matter, which is still pending. After getting permission from there, CBI will proceed with this matter.
The court has fixed the next hearing of the case on October 14, while directing the CBI to file the progress report again in 4 weeks in the case.
The matter was heard in a division bench headed by Chief Justice of the High Court, Dr Ravi Ranjan.
Judge Uttam Anand’s murder case is still being probed by CBI though a CBI special court in Dhanbad completed the trial in the case and sentenced life imprisonment to two accused, Rahul Verma and Lakhan Verma, on August 6
When the Jharkhand High Court during the last hearing asked the probe agency how to continue the probe when the trial has been completed and sentence has been awarded, the CBI cited a Kerala High Court judgment saying that the CBI can continue the investigation in any case if it expects new facts to come even after completion of the trial.
