The Supreme Court has finally given a big relief to the Andhra Pradesh government in the seshachalam forest killings. The apex court dismissed the petition for CBI probe about the forest killings of about 20 sandalwood smugglers. An Advocate and others filed a complaint that the AP government killed the normal wood cutters from Tamil Nadu too.

The petition blamed the Andhra Pradesh government for misusing the power and killing innocent people. It demanded a CBI probe into the forest killings to reveal the facts behind the attack. The Supreme Court Judge Dattu said that the Hyderabad Court is already looking into the issue and there will be no need of Supreme Court or CBI probe about the issue.
Andhra Pradesh government has cleared
So, this looks like the Andhra Pradesh government has cleared the biggest hurdle. However, the criticism from the human rights commission and opposition parties still did not end. The AP police declare they were smugglers and the counterpart complain a few innocent wood cutters there.
