SC To Hear Arguments On West Bengal Govt'S Suit Against CBI Probe On Thursday
The Supreme Court announced on Wednesday that it would deliberate on May 2 regarding the West Bengal government's lawsuit, which alleges that the CBI initiated its investigation without obtaining the necessary authorisation from the state.
Under Article 131 of the Constitution, the West Bengal government has brought an original suit against the Central government in the Supreme Court, contending that despite the state revoking its general consent for the CBI to probe cases within its jurisdiction, the agency has continued to register FIRs and proceed with investigations.
Article 131 outlines the Supreme Court's authority to adjudicate in disputes between the Centre and one or more states.
The West Bengal administration had withdrawn its "general consent" granted to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on November 16, 2018, thereby revoking the agency's authority to conduct investigations or raids in the state.
During the court session convened by Justices B R Gavai and Sandeep Mehta, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Centre, requested the court to schedule the hearing for 2 pm, citing an ongoing proceeding before a nine-judge Constitution bench.
