Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal against a High Court order that criticized the State Government and police officials regarding the investigation of a case involving Sections 363 and 366 IPC and Section 3(2) of the SCST Act. The Court held that the High Court's sweeping observations were unwarranted as there were no allegations of improper investigation, and the girl involved had been traced and was married. The Court directed the deletion of the unnecessary criticisms made by the High Court, emphasizing that such remarks should not be made without a basis.
