Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Gujarat High Court's dismissal of Dr. Vipul Shital Prasad Agarwal's petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution and Section 482 Cr.P.C. The Court emphasized that the investigation into the killing of Tulsiram Prajapati was to be conducted by the CBI, as directed in its previous order dated 8th April 2011, which found the state investigation unsatisfactory. The Court confirmed that the CBI's registration of a separate FIR was in compliance with its directives, thereby affirming the procedural integrity of the investigation process.
