It may be recalled that the Supreme Court had transferred the case of Vivekananda’s murder to CBI, Hyderabad for fair and effective investigation at the instance of his daughter YS Sunitha.

The judge wondered how could court interfere in matters involving such sensational cases with serious offences. However, the judge observed that the petition was wrongly moved before him and directed the High Court Registry to list the matter before the appropriate judge having roster on CBI cases on Friday.
