Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Calcutta High Court's direction to appoint a Special Officer for investigating allegations against police officers was valid under Article 136 of the Constitution. The Court noted that the Special Officer's report confirmed some allegations as true, thereby justifying the inquiry. The petition for special leave was dismissed, affirming the High Court's bail order while upholding the need for accountability in police conduct.
