The Supreme Court raised questions regarding the investigation of the UP govt in the Lakhimpur incident.
The bench of judges said that it is pained to say that prima facie it appears that benefit is being given to a particular accused by overlapping 2 FIRs.
Justice Surya Kant said that now it is being said that there are two FIRs, evidence accumulated in 1 FIR will be used in another.
CJI said that both FIRs should be investigated separately. Justice Suryakant said that one is the case of the killing of farmers, the other of journalists.
Harish Salve said that if someone still comes forward to record his/ her statement, then that has to be done.
