The Supreme Court today dismissed all petitions seeking athe formation of an Special Investigation Team (SIT) for looking into the death of Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Judge B.H. Loya's.

A Supreme Court bench of  headed by none other than the Chief Justice of India (CJI), Dipak Misra passed the order.

"There is no merit in the petitions and there is no reason to doubt the statements of sitting Judges, attempt of the petitioners was to malign the judiciary," said SC while dismissing the petitions.

But the judgement did not end there and went on to slam the petitioners.

The top court said the petitioners' advocates Dushyant Dave, Indira Jaising and Prashant Bhushan launched a frontal attack on the judiciary by urging the SC to disbelieve the three judicial officers who accompanied Loya to Nagpur and stayed with him at a guest house, and who later said the judge died of a heart attack.

A bench of CJI Dipak Misra, Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud said that during the arguments counsel forgot to maintain institutional civility towards SC judges and made wild allegations.

The SC said PILs, which were meant to provide succour to the downtrodden and voiceless, have now become an industry to settle scores political and personal. It said the judiciary is unnecessarily being made to spend precious time looking into such PILs which leads to delay in giving justice in other cases.

In reference to a magazine called Caravan,Justice Chandrachud said when the Loya matter was brought to the SC, a magazine and a daily newspaper published motivated reports to malign judiciary.
