The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a petition seeking the transfer of a murder case against Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
The petition was filed by member of Parliament B P Singhal.
A Bench headed by Chief Justice R C Lahoti dismissed the petition on the ground that the petitioner had no locus standi to "invoke extraordinary jurisdiciton of the court."
The court said the petitioner has not even filed a copy of the FIR against Sankaracharya which could have enabled the Bench to formulate an opinion regarding the fairness of the investigation.
