Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court disposed of a Writ Petition filed under Article 32 of the Constitution, directing the petitioner to approach the Gujarat High Court regarding the same incident involving the death of Ishrat Jahan. The Court emphasized that the High Court should decide the application on merits within six months of receiving a copy of the order. The Supreme Court clarified that it did not address the merits of the case, leaving that determination to the High Court.
