Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Delhi High Court's dismissal of a writ petition seeking a CBI investigation into the death of Yunus in police custody. The Court noted that the High Court relied on the Sub-Divisional Magistrate's report and the postmortem findings, which attributed death to cardiac arrhythmias rather than police action. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that there was insufficient evidence to warrant a case under Section 302 IPC against the police officers involved.
