Kalikho Pul: Supreme Court to hear wife’s request for probe into Pul’s suicide note tomorrow

The Supreme Court of India will hear tomorrow, the plea by Dangwimsai Pul, wife of former Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Kalikho Pul seeking probe into the suicide note of her husband..The matter will be heard by a Bench of Justice AK Goel and Justice UU Lalit as item 61 in court 13. .This development comes after Dangwimsai Pul wrote a letter to the Chief Justice of India, Justice JS Khehar seeking probe into the allegations contained in the suicide note. The court has listed the matter as a criminal writ petition..Pul had purportedly written a 60-page suicide note titled “Mere Vichar”. The note had created quite a stir since it names four judges of Supreme Court for having allegedly taken/ demanded bribes (some through their relatives). Two of them are sitting judges..The letter is replete with allegations of “bika hua” court and judges and is especially critical of the judgment delivered by a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court on July 13 last year. By way of that judgment, the Court had quashed the Governor’s decision of advancing the Assembly session in Arunachal Pradesh. This judgment led to the exit of Pul from the Chief Minister’s chair. Pul had subsequently committed suicide..The note also strongly criticises the Congress party and certain Senior lawyers..Pul’s wife had written to the CJI demanding action on the note. The CJI had responded to the note yesterday and had passed an order on the administrative side.
