State Rep. By D.S.P., ... vs K.V. Rajendran & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in reopening a previously decided issue regarding the transfer of investigation under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court emphasized that the inherent powers under Section 482 should not be exercised to modify a final order without sufficient grounds. Consequently, the order transferring the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation was set aside, reaffirming the earlier decision that the State Police should continue the investigation.
