Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision rejecting the appellant's application to entertain the chargesheet filed by the CBI regarding the killing of five individuals by the 7 Rashtriya Rifles, which was claimed to be a fake encounter. The Court emphasized the need for a thorough investigation under the Delhi Police Special Establishment Act, 1946, and clarified that the CBI's jurisdiction was properly invoked under Section 6 of the Act. The Court affirmed the lower courts' findings and maintained that the evidence presented warranted further inquiry into the incident.
