New Delhi, Oct 13 (UNI) In a major relief to Kolkata-based businessman Ashok Kumar Todi, the Supreme Court today directed that the trial in Rizwanur murder case should not commence till the final disposal of the petitions pending in Kolkata High Court.
A bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan, Justices P Sathasivam and Aftab Alam, however, refused to entertain Mr Todi's petition filed in the court.
Senior counsel Harish Salve, appearing for Mr Todi, pleaded before the court that since the issue whether CBI could register a fresh FIR in the case despite the fact that state government had not agreed to the transfer of investigation, was already pending in the high court, trial should not be permitted to proceed further till the investigation was over.
