| The Supreme Court today set aside a Calcutta High Court order for registration of a murder case against industrialist Ashok Kumar Todi and some police officers in the mysterious death of computer graphics teacher Rizwanur Rehman.
However, the court upheld the earlier orders of the High Court for a probe against the accused by the CBI under section 306 IPC (abetment of suicide).
The court also permitted the CBI to proceed against the accused police officers and the other accused in accordance with law.
A bench of Justices P Sathasivam and B S Chauhan termed as "unacceptable" the division bench order of May 18, 2010 for registration of cases under section 302 (murder) and 120-B(criminal conspiracy) IPC against the accused.
The apex court passed the judgement on the cross appeals filed by the CBI and the Todis challenging the direction of the High Court for registration of murder cases against them despite the agency earlier registering cases under section 306 IPC and other relevant sections.
Rizwanur was found dead near railway tracks in Dumdum area of Kolkata on September 21, 2007, just a month after his marriage to Ashok Todi's daughter Priyanka on August 18, 2007.
Ashok Todi, owner of the Rs. 200-crore Lux Cozi hosiery brand, his brother Pradip and brother in-law Anil Sarogi are accused in the case along with some senior IPS officers then serving in the Kolkata Police.
The High Court had asked the CBI to probe the matter after registering a case of murder in connection with the incident.
A division bench of the High Court had ordered fresh investigation after setting aside the CBI investigation earlier ordered by a single bench and directed the agency to complete the probe within four months.
