The CBI probed the alleged fake encounter killings of gangster Sohrabuddin Shaikh, his wife Kausar Bi and his aide Tulsi Prajapati with a 'pre-conceived and premeditated' theory to implicate political leaders, a special CBI court has said.

For special CBI Judge SJ Sharma, acquitting all 22 accused in the alleged fake encounter killings of gangster Sohrabuddin Shaikh, his wife Kausar Bi and his aide Tulsi Prajapati on Friday, was the last judgement of his career.

A fresh public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Bombay High Court, seeking an unprecedented seven-judge bench to hear the case concerning the death of former CBI Special Judge BH Loya, a lawyer said on Thursday.

The CBI during the final hearing of the Sohrabuddin Shaikh and Tulsiram Prajapati alleged fake encounter case told a court in Mumbai today that hostile witnesses hampered the probe.

The CBI on Monday requested a special court hearing the Sohrabuddin Shaikh alleged fake encounter case not to discard entirely the testimonies of prosecution witnesses who have turned hostile, even as the court said the CBI's theory and chargesheet are "riddled with unexplained gaps".

The lawyer of Gujarat IPS officer Rajkumar Pandian, whose discharge in the Sohrabuddin Shaikh alleged fake encounter case has been challenged in the Bombay High Court, on Saturday alleged in the court that he was framed up by the CBI.

Almost two weeks after it began day-to-day hearing on petitions challenging the discharge of police officials in the Sohrabuddin Shaikh encounter case, the Bombay High Court today said that the CBI had failed to adequately assist it due to which it was still unclear on the agency's overall case.

The killings of Sohrabuddin Shaikh, his wife Kausar Bi and associate Tulsiram Prajapati were the result of a conspiracy hatched by senior officers of Gujarat and Rajasthan police, Rubabuddin Shaikh, the brother of Sohrabuddin, who was killed in an alleged staged encounter, told the Bombay High Court today.

The Bombay High Court has asked the CBI to submit a chart giving names of police officers whose discharge from the Sohrabuddin Sheikh encounter case has been challenged, and the roles ascribed to them in the charge sheet.
