Supreme Court To Hear Plea On CBI Probe Into Kalikho Pul’s Death Tomorrow

The Supreme Court would tomorrow hear the plea of the wife of former Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Kalikho Pul, who had allegedly committed suicide last year, seeking a CBI probe into his death. Treating the letter written by Dangwimsai Pul as a petition, a bench of Justices Adarsh Kumar Goel and UU Lalit would deal with her plea seeking a probe into his death and the allegations levelled in a purported suicide note of the former Chief Minister.

The matter has been listed for hearing before the two- judge bench tomorrow.

In an appeal to the Chief Justice of India, a copy of which she made public at a press conference here last week, Dangwimsai Pul had said “it is essential that an FIR be registered on the basis of the allegations contained in it (suicide note) and the case be investigated by the CBI since the primary allegations are of corruption of judges at the highest level.”
