KOLKATA: The Calcutta High Court on Friday refused to admit the West Bengal Government’s appeal challenging the trial court’s life term till death sentence awarded to RG Kar hospital rape-murder case convict Sanjay Roy, while accepting a similar prayer by the CBI.

It said since the probe was conducted by the CBI, it was the appropriate authority to issue directions for the presentation of an appeal.
