NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday said there are 65-75 death references pending which needed to be heard on priority basis rather than hearing a plea for some roving inquiry into the nexus between politicians and corporates on the basis of unsubstantiated documents.
A bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Sanjay Kishan Kaul questioned an NGO about the authenticity of documents it has been referring to allege nexus between politicians and corporate houses.
“There are 65-75 people languishing in jail. When they wake up in the morning they do not know whether they will be able to see the light of another day. Judicial time is precious and that is our priority. I want my judges to focus on these cases,” the bench told advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for NGO Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL). (AGENCIES)
