Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C., the Investigating Agency is mandated to investigate complaints without determining jurisdiction, as this is the prerogative of the courts. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition challenging the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's order for further investigation, emphasizing that the Investigating Agency's role is limited to reporting on the investigation's outcome. The Court concluded that the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's directive was valid despite the appellant's claims regarding territorial jurisdiction.
