Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the notifications issued under Section 6 of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946, authorizing the CBI to investigate certain offences were valid. The Court emphasized that the High Court's requirement for reasons in the notifications was not necessary under the Act. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order quashing the notifications was set aside, thereby reinstating the CBI's authority to investigate the case.
