Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the procedural aspects of FIRs lodged under various sections of the IPC, specifically Sections 147, 148, 149, 452, 323, 427, 506, and 307 IPC, in relation to a violent incident involving family members. The Court emphasized the necessity of a fair investigation as mandated by Article 21 of the Constitution, holding that the High Court's directive for a fresh investigation was justified due to the inadequacies in the initial inquiry. The appeals were disposed of with directions for a thorough investigation into the allegations made in both FIRs.
