Jodhpur: The Rajasthan High Court on Thursday
expressed displeasure over the pace of probe in the case of
missing nurse, Bhanwari Devi.
A division bench of justices Govind Mathur and NK Jain
expressed displeasure over the investigation into the case and
directed the government counsel to produce the status report
on October 17, the next date of hearing.
The bench said the investigation has just changed hands
but the responsibility of the state government is still there
to search and produce before the court the nurse missing since
September one.
The CBI had taken charge of the investigations into the
case yesterday.
Counsel of petitioner Amarchand, husband of Devi, said
despite the lower court's direction to include state minister
Mahipal Maderna's name in the FIR, no action has been taken
against him.
The Court had earlier raised questions on the state
government's intention of solving the case.
