The CBI judge Justice BH Loya death case will come up for hearing on January 22 and a bench headed by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra will hear two petitions in connection with the matter, according to the Supreme Court cause list.

The two petitions are seeking an independent probe into the death of Justice Loya, who died in alleged suspicious circumstances in 2014. The top court had asked the Maharashtra government earlier in the month to submit the postmortem report of the CBI judge who had died under mysterious circumstances, asserting that the "matter was very serious."
