Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an unusual order from the High Court directing a re-examination of a completed investigation under Sections 302, 201, and 120B IPC. The Court held that such directions were inappropriate given that the investigation was already concluded and a charge sheet had been filed. The Court emphasized the need for judicial restraint in interfering with completed investigations, thereby upholding the integrity of the investigative process and the rights of the accused.
