Beltangady, Jan 28: The state high court (HC) has refused to order Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to reinvestigate the case of the death of Sowjanya, a student of SDM College, Ujire, who was allegedly raped.
An application moved in this connection by Chandappa Gowda, father of the victim, was turned down on Wednesday January 27 by a single judge bench of the high court chaired by Justice K Somashekhar.
The high court observed that the local police, criminal investigation department and the CBI had conducted a probe into the case and CBI has already filed charge sheet.
Witnesses are being examined in the CBI special court. The investigation conducted by the CBI is proper and justified. Medical test has confirmed that Santosh Rao was involved with the crime. Unless the applicant furnishes additional evidence, the case that has already been investigated by the CBI cannot be ordered to be investigated afresh, the bench stated.
The high court upheld petitions filed by Dheeraj Jain, Uday Jain and Mallik Jain, questioning the move of the CBI special court to include them as additional accused and serving them summons. It cancelled the summons and annulled the order issued by the judge of the CBI special court to reinvestigate the case.
