<h1>CBI probe ordered into deadly stampede that killed 41; interim stay on leader's trial and insurer payment stayed</h1> The Supreme Court ordered a CBI probe into a deadly stampede that killed 41, extended an interim stay on trial court proceedings against a political leader over alleged derogatory remarks about the Army, and stayed a consumer commission's directive compelling an insurer to pay roughly Rs 82.8 lakh in a cricket-injury dispute. The court is likely to hear a corporate plea to permit sale of major properties, ruled that land acquired for an auto project need not be restored to former industrial occupants, refused to entertain challenges to a competition investigation and to a demand for a judge-led SIT on electoral roll manipulation, directed a singer to face trial on an FIR, flagged safety directions for an old dam, will hear a challenge to anticipatory bail in a large chit-fund case, and deferred a telecom firm's AGR-related hearing.
