Hindustan Times Navi Mumbai|January 03, 2025
The Bombay high court on Thursday ruled that there was no further need to monitor the investigation into the murder of Communist Party of India (CPI) leader Govind Pansare as the only aspect that remained to be probed was tracing two absconding accused.

MUMBAI:

"According to us, only for the purpose of arrest of the absconding accused, continuous monitoring of further investigation by this court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is not necessary," the division bench of justices Ajey Gadkari and Kamal Khata noted, disposing the petition filed by the deceased's daughter and daughter-in-law seeking formation of an SIT and a court-monitored probe into his death.

The court on Thursday also disposed pleas by prime accused Virendrasinh Tawade and co-accused Sharad Kalaskar, who urged the HC to stop monitoring the trial which commenced on December 16, 2024, saying it could not usurp powers of the trial court.
