Satyajit Ballubhai Desai & Ors vs State Of Gujarat

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court of Gujarat's order allowing police remand for interrogation in a criminal case involving allegations of forgery and fraudulent property transactions under Section 420 IPC. The Court emphasized that the police have the authority to investigate complaints even after a civil compromise has been reached, as the criminal proceedings serve a different purpose. The Court affirmed the Magistrate's decision to permit police remand, thereby rejecting the appellants' challenge to the remand order.
