The West Bengal government's request to undo the Calcutta High Court's order for a probe by the anti-terror agency NIA into the Ram Navami violence cases has been dismissed by the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court said it "won't entertain" Bengal's challenge against the handing over of the Ram Navami violence cases to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), and dismissed the Mamata Banerjee government's petition.
"...we are not inclined to entertain the Special Leave Petition (SLP)," a bench comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said, news agency PTI reported.
