As many as 470 of the 5,000-odd lawyers of the Punjab and Haryana high court have written to chief justice of India Dipak Misra, seeking probe by the CBI or a commission or special investigation team (SIT) into the mysterious death of CBI judge, Mumbai, HP Loya. “If the lives of judges who decide high-profile cases are not safe and it is alleged that they work under pressure and influence, the justice itself is not safe. In 2014, Loya presided over the special CBI court. The case was transferred out of Gujarat by Supreme Court in 2012. Loya was the second judge to hear this case after the earlier judge was transferred in June 2014.
