The Supreme Court on Monday asked three witnesses, who had alleged harassment at the hands of special investigation team (SIT) probing Kathua gangrape and murder case, to approach the Jammu and Kashmir High Court with their grievances.
The three witnesses, Sahil Sharma, Sachin Sharma and Neeraj Sharma, who were the classmates of one of the key accused in college, had alleged harassment by the SIT and sought an independent enquiry into it.
A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud refused to order a probe into the allegation of the witnesses that they were harassed during the process of recording of their statement before the state police.
The bench disposed of their petition giving them the liberty to approach the HC with their grievances.
