The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

Death of Justice Loya: Institute High Level Judicial Probe

The exposure in sections of the media raise serious issues over the
circumstances of the death of the CBI court judge, H. P. Loya, in November
2014. Justice Loya was hearing the case regarding the encounter killing of
Sohrabuddin Sheikh in 2005. The family members of Justice Loya have
alleged that attempts were made to bribe and intimidate him during the
course of the trial.

These have raised disturbing questions of murder, bribery, subversion of
law and the manipulation of institutions of our parliamentary democracy at
the highest level, which must be seriously investigated.

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) demands that a high level judicial enquiry
be instituted immediately to look into this whole affair.
