You cannot call yourself 'Republic of India' in pleas: SC pulls up CBI
Hindustan Times
|October 21, 2023
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) cannot equate itself with the "Republic of India", the Supreme Court observed on Friday, taking umbrage at the federal agency filing petitions representing the republic.
"Why have you filed as the 'Republic of India'? You are not representing the Union or the Republic," a bench of justices AS Oka and Pankaj Mithal remarked as it came across a petition filed by the CBI as the "Republic of India".
Addressing additional solicitor general (ASG) Aishwarya Bhati, who was representing the agency in an appeal against the grant of bail in a CBI case, the bench said it is not proper for the agency to file petitions in the court as "Republic of India".
"You don't represent the Union of India? You cannot file your petitions like that," it told Bhati. The bench then directed that the cause-title of the case will be altered by the registry of the court, omitting the words "Republic of India". ASG Bhati conceded to the court's directive.
