Additional Solicitor General D P Singh, appearing for the CBI, argued that the release of the accused on bail could affect the victims’ willingness to depose.
The Court noted that many victims and their families are yet to receive copies of chargesheets filed by the CBI and the state Special Investigation Team (SIT).
The top court directed that Rs 12 lakh be given to the panel head Justice Gita Mittal, and Rs 10 lakh each to the other two members and the probe officer.
The MLAs demonstrated within the Assembly premises, carrying placards with slogans including "Open your mouth, CM!", "Can you hear the cries of anguish, CM?".
