The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the CBI to place its investigation report in the 2007 Nandigram firing incident before it to decide on initiating criminal proceedings against the erring police officials in the case. A Bench comprising Justices R V Raveendran and A K Patnaik directed the agency to file its report in sealed cover within two weeks to decide whether the stay on initiating criminal proceedings against the police officials could be vacated or not. It however, refused to pass order on a petition filed by NHRC seeking compensation for the victims of 2nd and 3rd round of firings like victims of first round of firings. The court asked the commission to approach the Calcutta High Court for this.
