Sabarimala gold case: Kerala HC says SIT probe is progressing in the right direction
The Kerala High Court stated that the granting of statutory bail to three accused following their 90-day remand would not hinder the investigation into the alleged gold misappropriation from the Sabarimala temple. The court, which had constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case, noted that the investigation was progressing in the right direction and emphasized the complexity of the case requiring meticulous examination. The court dismissed Mr. Rajeev Chandrasekhar's plea for a CBI probe, stating it could not be ordered in every case and that personnel from the Central agency often come from the same State police force.
