Can’t stop probe in Kodanad case, truth must come out: SC

Giving a leg up to the state government’s decision to initiate further probe into the Kodanad estate murder and burglary case, the Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to interfere with the investigation and said “the truth must come out”. Ruling on a special leave petition filed by Anubhav Ravi, an AIADMK functionary, who opposed further investigation, saying it would delay the ongoing trial in the Nilgiris sessions court, a bench headed by Justice D Y Chandrachud sought to dismiss the petition. But it then declared it as withdrawn after senior counsel Siddharth Luthra, representing Ravi, sought the court’s permission to withdraw the plea.
