Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, said media reports suggest that chargesheets filed in the case comprises of more than 10,000 pages.
The state government had earlier told the apex court that the Maharashtra Police has punished "delinquent" policemen for dereliction of duties in the alleged lynching incident and sought dismissal of pleas seeking a CBI probe.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday asked Maharashtra Police to place on record the second supplementary charge sheet filed in the case related to alleged lynching of three people, including two seers, in Palghar district in April last year.
The pleas sought a CBI or a court-monitored Special Investigation Team probe in the incident that took place in the Palghar district in April 2020.
A bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan, S K Kaul and M R Shah said that 'with regard to this incident, this court has already taken cognisance. There is no question of multiplying the petitions one by one'.
