Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a writ petition seeking a CBI investigation into the death of Major S. Ravishankar, affirming that an aggrieved person cannot insist on a specific agency for investigation as per the precedent set in CBI & another vs. Rajesh Gandhi (1997 Cr.L.J 63). The Court reiterated that the proper legal recourse for grievances regarding FIR registration or investigation lies under Sections 154 and 156 of the Cr.P.C. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
