Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the police authorities are obligated to register a case and take action when a complaint is made regarding injuries sustained by an individual, as per the principles of justice and legal duty. The Court upheld the High Court's directive to the Superintendent of Police to register a case based on the findings that the petitioner had sustained injuries and that the police failed to act. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order to ensure proper investigation and action under the law.
