Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission's examination process, emphasizing the need for fair investigation under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court held that the High Court's directive for a fair investigation under the supervision of the Director General of Police was appropriate, and that the transfer of investigating officers should not impede the investigation process. The Court clarified that the ongoing investigation in crime no. 33/2002 should not overlap with the new FIR no. 7/2006, ensuring that both matters are handled distinctly.
