Kathua rape and murder case SC transfers trial to Pathankot court, refuses CBI probe

  • 6 years ago
The Supreme Court transferred the murder and rape case of an eight-year-old Bakerwal girl in Kathua to Pathankot district and sessions court while declining to entertain the demand for a CBI probe in the matter. A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra directed a fast-track trial and day-to-day hearing in the matter to avoid any delay. Besides, the proceedings have been directed to be held in-camera.
