CJI: we will pass an order, the name and photo cannot be there
CJI: there is genuine concern by father of deceased in regard to certain specific leads in investigation is obtained, we will not reveal his letter its confidential....we will say these are very valuable inputs for the CBI, they are handicapped themselves at this point in time by the 5 day delay, but they should also look at this to ensure this is obtained
CJI: There is still time to complete the investigation. We have to give CBI adequate time, they are not sleeping over. They are required to be given time to unearth the truth.
