Sohrabuddin: CBI gets HC notice on bail pleas by cops with ‘clean chit’

The High Court on Monday issued notice to the CBI while hearing pleas for regular bail filed by two suspended policemen,Ajay Parmar and Santram Sharma,who were given a clean chit by the central agency in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh encounter case but are still behind bars.

Another policeman V A Rathod,also an accused in the case who was later given a clean chit by the CBI,was released on bail by the Supreme Court in March this year.

Advocate Punit Juneja,who is representing Parmar and Sharma,said they had demanded bails on the ground that the CBI,the prosecuting agency,had given them a clean chit to them and that Rathod,who was also cleared by the CBI,has been released on bail by the Supreme Court.

“The court has issued notice to the CBI and kept the petitions for further hearing on June 15,” Juneja said.
