The Supreme Court on Monday refused to interfere with the decision of the Madras High Court to transfer to CBI, the alleged religious conversion and suicide case of a 17-year-old in Thanjavur.
The Supreme Court recently issued a notice in a plea filed by a mother alleging rape and murder of her 14 year old daughter who was found hanging in her classroom in Uttar Pradesh.
A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and BV Nagarathna also held that summary disposal of an earlier petition under Article 32 of the constitution does not bar the present writ petition on grounds of res judicata as there has been no substantive decision on the merits of the issues.
