<p>A bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud said the trial court judge had sufficient powers to order another investigation upon feeling it necessary after examining the evidence.</p>
<p>The top court also examined the sixth status report filed by the CBI in relation to the case of <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/kolkata-doctor-rape-murder-junior-doctors-end-fast-unto-death-strike-23416020" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">rape and murder at Kolkata's R G Kar Medical College and Hospital</a>, but refrained from making observations saying the probe was underway.</p>
<p>The apex court noted that a Kolkata court had framed charges against the prime accused, Sanjay Roy, on November 4 and a day-to-day trial in the case would start November 11 onwards.</p>
<p>During the hearing, the National Task Force (NTF), formed to create a protocol over the safety of health professionals, submitted its report to the apex court. The SC directed the NTF's report to be shared with all states and <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/disengagement-process-in-certain-areas-along-lac-almost-complete-defence-minister-rajnath-singh-23421054" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Union Territories</a> and posted the hearing after four weeks.</p>
<p>The top court had on October 15 questioned the West Bengal government over the hiring of civic volunteers in the state and sought data on their recruitment and appointment process.&nbsp;</p>
