New Delhi

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to entertain a plea seeking a probe into the murder of advocate and state BJP leader Tikalal Taploo in Kashmir in 1989 by militants.

A bench comprising Justices BR Gavai and CT Ravikumar declined to entertain the petition saying that another similar matter was not entertained by the apex court.

The bench said it cannot discriminate between the petitions and told the petitioner's counsel to avail alternate remedies, as it dismissed the petition as withdrawn.

The plea was filed by Ashutosh Taploo, son of the deceased.
