One of the accused Sanjay Singh had filed the present writ petition, requesting the court to direct a CBI probe into this case. The court at one stage had directed the state government to file its reply in the mater. While taking the affidavit filed by the state government on record, a division bench comprising justice Ramesh Sinha and justice SB Singh directed to list this case after two weeks for hearing. The state government was represented by additional advocate general Imran Ullah.
