The Bombay High Court on Tuesday expressed its disinclination to hear a petition seeking a CBI probe into the alleged “fake encounter” of Rohit Arya — the man accused of holding children hostage in a city recording studio — who was shot dead during the rescue operation.

When a division bench indicated it was not inclined to grant any relief, the petitioner — a Mumbai-based female advocate — withdrew the plea. The HC, which also rejected the petitioner’s request to convert the plea into a PIL, allowed the petition’s withdrawal, but added that if the advocate wishes, she can file a private complaint before a magistrate’s court as mandated by law.
