The bench then directed the CBI to submit the report to the Registrar Council Shyamal Kanti Chakrabarty.

The division bench would go through the report and fix the next date of hearing, Court sources said.

The CBI had submitted its preliminary report to the High Court on December 17 last year. The Court, after going through the preliminary report, had directed the CBI to submit its report by Friday.

The High Court had on November 18 last year indicted the West Bengal government for the firing on innocent people in Nandigarm while terming it wholly unconstitutional and unjustifiable and directed the administration to compensate the families of each of the 14 victims with Rs five lakh.

Immediately after the police action on March 14 last year, the High Court had asked the CBI to enquire as to what prompted the police to open fire when thousands of villagers had gathered to protest against attempts by the police to enter Nandigram.
