Rejecting a plea for release of five activists held in connection with the Koregaon-Bhima violence case for alleged Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] links, the Supreme Court (SC), on September 28, refused to order a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into their arrest, saying it was not a case of “more dissenting views or difference in political ideology”, reports The Pioneer. The SC ruled the accused will remain in house arrest for four more weeks during which they are at liberty to avail legal remedies in appropriate court which can consider the case on merits. Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justice AM Khanwilkar said in their majority verdict, “We are of considered opinion that it is not a case of arrest because of mere dissenting views expressed or difference in the political ideology of the named accused, but concerning their link with the members of the banned organisation and its activities.” Refusing to appoint an SIT to probe the arrests, the SC held that the “accused cannot ask for changing the investigating agency or to do investigation in a particular manner including for court-monitored probe.”
