MUMBAI:The Bombay High Court today said it was “very unhappy” over the pace of progress in Narendra Dabholkar and Govind Pansare murder cases even as the CBI informed the court that Scotland Yard has refused to help in the forensic probe on the ground that there was no pact between the UK and India for sharing such data.



Mumbai, January 20

The Bombay High Court today said it was “very unhappy” over the pace of progress in Narendra Dabholkar and Govind Pansare murder cases even as the CBI informed the court that Scotland Yard has refused to help in the forensic probe on the ground that there was no pact between the UK and India for sharing such data.

Today, the CBI also submitted, in a sealed cover, a report from Ahmedabad Forensic Laboratory on ballistic evidence related to the killing of the three rationalists, including MM Kalburgi in Karnataka, the third such report, the other two being those of Mumbai and Bengaluru labs.

The CBI, probing Dabholkar’s murder, and the SIT of state CID, probing the killing of Pansare, also submitted separate reports.

The court observed that it was “very unhappy” over the tardy progress in investigation, and also noted there was no development in the proceedings in courts in Pune and Kolhapur, trying Dabholkar and Pansare murder cases, respectively. — PTI
