New Delhi [India], Jan 16 (NT): The Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear the petition lodged by a lawyer and others looking for a Special Probe Team (SIT) which investigates into the death of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) judge B H Loya.

The hearing, which was lined up for Monday, Jan 15, was postponed because of Justice Mohan M Shantanagoudar, a Supr, me Court judge was not present in the courtroom.

The apex court had asked the Maharashtra government previously in the month to put forward the postmortem report of the CBI judge who had died under the strange state of affairs, pronouncing that the "matter was very serious."

As per to reports, Maharashtra-based journalist B R Lone had lodged an independent petition in quest of a fair investigation into the strange death of Justice Loya, who was hearing the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, in which several police officers and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah were named as prime accused.
