Hemant Dhasmana vs Central Bureau Of Investigation And Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of a complainant being transposed as an accused after the CBI's investigation into a bribery complaint against a Chief Commissioner of Income Tax. The Court held that the CBI's final report, which exonerated the accused and sought to prosecute the complainant under Sections 182 and 211 IPC, was not acceptable, and directed further investigation. The Court emphasized the need for a fair investigation and the protection of whistleblowers, reaffirming the importance of accountability in public service.
