Lucknow: The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday asked the Uttar Pradesh government to submit to it the charge sheet and the case diary along with the entire records related to the murder of two chief medical officers, family welfare.
The Lucknow bench of the court comprising justices Pradeep Kant and Ritu Raj Awasthi directed the state government to submit the records on July 22.
The court was hearing a PIL seeking direction for a CBI probe into killing of the two CMOs - Vinod Kumar Arya and BP Singh.
Appearing on behalf of the petitioner, counsel Prince Lenin submitted that DyCMO Y S Sachan was held accused in the murder of two CMOs and his death is already being probed by the CBI.
The petitioner counsel said that as all the cases were co-linked it would be appropriate to hand over the investigation into the murder case of chief medical officers, family welfare, Arya and Singh, to the agency as well.
The government counsel, however, submitted that as the investigation into both the cases was complete and charge sheets already filed there was no need for the CBI inquiry.
While CMO Arya was shot dead in October last year, BP Singh was killed in Gomti Nagar area on April 2 last.
Sachan, who was named as the conspirator in Singh's murder case, was found dead inside the Lucknow district jail hospital on June 22.
A judicial probe by Chief Judicial Magistrate Rajesh Upadhyaya concluded that Sachan's death was a case of murder.
While the state government recommended a CBI inquiry into the mysterious death, the court had also directed a probe by the agency.
