SC says ‘no’ further probe in M M Mani’s speech case

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court Tuesday upheld Kerala High Court verdict rejecting state government’s review petition to order further probe into the murder of an INTUC worker following the disclosure of CPI (M) leader M M Mani that his party has a history of killing rivals.         

A bench led by Justice Ranjan Gogoi said there is nothing new in the speech to conduct a probe. The state government had approached the Supreme Court  against the high court verdict.             

Mani landed in trouble in the wake of his controversial public speech that the party in the 1980s drew up a list of foes to be eliminated and had done to death three of them. The government approached the Supreme Court seeking a further probe on the basis of the speech.
