The Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday dismissed petitions seeking Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Judge BH Loya's death.

SC called the PILs "scandalous" and "amounting to criminal contempt". The apex court said, "it cannot doubt the statements of the judicial officers who were with Loya".

Sambit Patra said that the people who have been politicizing the judiciary for their own motives, now stand exposed.
