Available information suggests the High Court has made it clear to the government that it cannot spare a Judge for the purpose. Pleas by the governments and others for probe by sitting Judges into incidents are not uncommon. But never in recallable past has a sitting Judge been asked to look into a matter by the High Court. At the same time, inquiries by District and Sessions Judges and other judicial officers on the basis of directions issued by the High Court are not out of the ordinary.
