The case was stating that "14 students from Madras IIT have been dead since 2006 till now. So, the death of 14 persons, including Fatima's death, should be reversed by the CBI" has been filed in the High Court demanding that the case be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation. But the High Court refused in the last hearing.

Also, Fatima's father Abdul Latif has now filed a petition with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Edapadi K.Palanisamy demanding the CBI probe.

The Madras Highcourt stated that the case is being pursued without sufficient documentary evidence to demand a CBI probe. So the court dictated Tamil Nadu government may decide to order a CBI probe into Fatima's death.

Now, in this case, the Tamil Nadu government has ordered the transfer of the case of Fatima Latif from the Central Police Department to the CBI following the permission of the Home Ministry and the approval of the police officials.
