Judiciary

Judge Loya case has meandered through various twists and turns particularly after some reports in November last year raised suspicion surrounding his death

Anuradha Biyani, a medical doctor based in Dhule, Maharashtra, told journalist Niranjan Takle that Chief Justice Shah wanted her brother to give a favorable judgment to Amit Shah, the prime accused in the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case that he was presiding upon as trial judge. Loya’s father Harkishan said his son had told him he had offers to deliver a favorable judgment in exchange for money and a house in Mumbai

The judiciary as well as the Maharashtra government tried to pass off trial judge Loya's death as natural. But Niranjan Takle, a journalist, spent months reconstructing the circumstances surrounding his death and came to the disturbing conclusion that not only was it suspicious but most likely a cold-blooded murder
