Synopsis
This issue has been at the centre of many a wrangling between the Centre and Opposition-ruled states.
The counter affidavit was filed in the top court which is hearing a plea challenging the Calcutta High Court order which had allowed CBI to probe the case without the state s consent.
The Central Bureau of Investigation argued in the Supreme Court on Wednesday that it did not need the consent of the West Bengal government to probe any crime in the state, especially when the decision has been vetted by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) and the high court.
