New Delhi, May 26: The Supreme Court on Friday refused an urgent hearing on a plea seeking a probe by a Special Investigation Team into the recent incidents of caste violence in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur district.

A vacation bench comprising Justices L. Nageswara Rao and Navin Sinha said there was no urgency and the petition may be heard after the court's summer break.
