State Of Punjab vs Vinod Kumar

The Supreme Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to submit an investigation report within one month to the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ambala, as per the provisions of Section 197 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court ordered the State Government to pay Rs. 2,00,000 each to the families of Ashok Kumar and Mukhtiar Singh as interim compensation, while clarifying that this payment does not affect their right to claim further compensation. The Court refrained from commenting on the adequacy of the sanction for prosecution under various IPC sections, allowing the trial court to address those issues.
