Brijgopal Harkishan Loya (1966-2014) was an Indian judge who served in a special court which deals with matters relating to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). He was presiding over the Sohrabuddin Sheikh case, and allegedly died under unnatural circumstances on 1 December 2014 in Nagpur. A bench of the Supreme Court of India, headed by the Chief Justice Dipak Misra, on April 19, 2018, dismissed the public interest petition (PIL), and stated the death to be natural and such petitions to be an attack on the Judiciary.
