Dangwimsai Pul, the wife of late Kalikho Pul, withdrew her letter to Chief Justice of India JS Khehar.
Dangwimsai Pul, the wife of late Kalikho Pul, Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh withdrew her letter to Chief Justice of India JS Khehar on Thursday. In doing so, she said the Supreme Court has no business to deal with her letter on the judicial side and the letter should be dealt with on the administrative side.
As President Pranab Mukherjee finds a mention in her husband's suicide note, senior counsel representing her, Dushyant Dave, indicated that Dangwimsai may approach Vice President Hamid Ansari to look into the matter. In her letter to Chief Justice Khehar, Dangwimsai had alleged corruption by politicians and a few higher judiciary functionaries.
Dangwimsai was allowed to to withdraw her letter by a bench of Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel and Justice Uday Umesh Lalit , as she was advised by her counsel to recuse from hearing the matter.
On the basis of Pul's sucide note which he wrote on August 9 last year, Dangwimsai had written to the Chief Justice of India to seek permission to lodge an FIR.
Dave wanted to know on whose instructions the court Registry had listed the letter for hearing before the bench when it was meant to be dealt with on administrative side. He questioned how the letter was listed for hearing in court number 13 and not court numbers 3, 4 or 5.
Dave said while a seven-judge bench is hearing the case of Kolkata High Court's Justice C.S. Karnan, the instant case that names certain judicial functionaries was listed before a two-judge bench. The senior counsel referred to a Constitution Bench judgment to buttress his point, saying all such communication (letter) should be dealt with on the administrative side.
Pul was found dead at his official residence in Itanagar, capital of Arunachal Pradesh on August 9, 2016. He left behind a 60-page note in which he accused several top politicians and Supreme Court Judges of seeking bribe.
Claiming that Arunachal Pradesh government was not interested in probing Pul's death, earlier, Dangwimsai had demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into the case.
