A Bench led by Justice Ashok Bhushan issued a formal notice to Maharashtra, the Centre, the DGP and the CBI on the plea. The court listed the case for further hearing in July second week. The case would be taken up with a petition filed by an advocate Shashank Shekhar Jha alleging police complicity in the incident. It also sought an investigation by a judicial commission or a central agency like the CBI or the NIA. Besides transfer of the case to CBI and a time-bound probe, this petition also laid claim to the land on which the incident happened to construct a memorial for the two sadhus.
