The judiciary, if not protected, may be unable to fulfil its duty towards public at large. In cases where prima facie material is available to investigate, it is absolutely necessary to order an inquiry,&#8221; the Congress leader said.<\/p>\n<p>The other plea filed by the journalist submitted that a fair probe was needed into the mysterious death of Loya, who was hearing the sensitive Sohrabuddin encounter case in which various police officers and BJP president Amit Shah were named as parties.<\/p>\n<p>A PIL seeking probe into the judge&#8217;s death has also been filed before the Bombay High Court on January 8 by the Bombay Lawyers&#8217; Association.<\/p>\n<p>In the encounter case, the BJP President along with Rajasthan Home Minister Gulabchand Kataria, Rajasthan-based businessman Vimal Patni, former Gujarat police chief P C Pande, Additional Director General of Police Geeta Johri and Gujarat police officers Abhay Chudasama and N K Amin have already been discharged.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 23 accused, including police personnel, are currently facing trial for their involvement in the alleged fake encounter of Sohrabuddin Shaikh, his wife Kausar Bi and their associate Tulsidas Prajapati in Gujarat in November 2005.<\/p>\n<p>The case was later transferred to CBI and the trial shifted to Mumbai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court today agreed to hear tomorrow two separate pleas seeking independent probe into the death of special CBI judge B H Loya, who was hearing the Sohrabuddin Sheikh encounter case.
