Prayagraj. The Allahabad High Court has rejected the PIL seeking a CBI inquiry into the violence that erupted during the survey of Sambhal’s Shahi Jama Masjid. This order has been given by a division bench of Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Gautam Chaudhary.
During the hearing on Wednesday, Additional Advocate General Manish Goyal informed the division bench about the formation of a judicial commission under the chairmanship of a retired High Court judge by the state government. After this, the petitioner’s lawyer stressed on the demand for making guidelines for the police.

On this, the court said that ‘the commission is investigating. If the petitioner wants, he can put his point on the appropriate forum.’ On this, the petitioner’s lawyer requested to withdraw the petition, which the court accepted and rejected the petition.
In the petition filed by Anand Prakash Tiwari of Varanasi, a demand was made to constitute an SIT under the chairmanship of a retired High Court judge and issue a command to investigate the role of the local police-administration and the members of the Advocate Commissioner’s team in the violence and submit a report. It was also prayed that the role of the state government and administration in the violence be investigated by an independent investigation agency.
