KOLKATA: The Calcutta High Court on Thursday dismissed a plea filed by the three arrested Jharkhand MLAs that sought a probe by the CBI or an "independent agency" in the alleged cash scam, saying an accused could not choose which agency should investigate an alleged offence.
The HC cited a 2020 judgment by the Supreme Court, in which it was clearly laid down that an accused could not have any say on which agency should probe the charges, or the manner in which a probe should be carried out.
