Nandigram firing: SC wants CBIs probe report

This was the case in the Nandigram probe,which was referred to the CBI by the Calcutta HC. Following the firing on March 14,2007,the HC had asked the CBI to investigate what prompted the police to open fire when thousands of villagers had gathered to protest attempts by the police to enter Nandigram. Thursdays decision to check the CBIs report comes in the backdrop of the Constitution Benchs judgment that courts can indeed order a CBI probe without involving the state government.
