The investigation has not revealed anything that has not been known before, Bench said while hearing litigation of public interests (pills) initiated to monitor the probe into the death of a 49-year-old district judge after being hit by automatic rickshaws in Dhanbad City on July 28.
The footage of the incident clearly showed that the driver was a rickshaw automatically out of his track and hit a judge.
Even if the driver is drunk, the intention is clear from the recording, Bench said.
CCTV footage shows that the judge, anand Uttam, jogging on one side of the road that was wide enough at Randhir Verma Chowk near the early district court on July 28 when the heavy auto-rickshaw turned towards him, hit him from behind, and escaped from behind, and escaped scenery.
Some locals found him lying in a pool of blood and took him to the hospital, where the doctor said he died on arrival.
Police Dhanbad confiscated a vehicle from the Giridih district and arrested the driver of the automatic rickshaw Lakhan Verma and his assistant Rahul Verma.

The state government then handed it to the CBI who started his investigation in August 4.
The Central Agency on Wednesday doubled his prize to Rs 10 Lakh for anyone sharing “important information” in the death of the judge.
The CBI has used various scientific tests in both accused of efforts to complete mysteries.
The bench on Thursday also called the Secretary of the House and Director of Forensic Science Laboratory to appear before in virtual mode on the next hearing date.
The order came after the court was informed by the Jharkhand Public Services Commission that he had published advertisements for the appointment at the FSL empty post in March this year.
However, advertisements are canceled and no fresh advertisements were released.
The bench expressed displeasure on this issue and observed that the government wanted to keep the court in the dark.
The High Court on September 2 also stated dissatisfaction with slow progress into investigation by the CBI into the case of the death of the judge and lack of labor in the FSL.
