Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by the CBI against the Gujarat High Court's bail order for Amitbhai Anil Chandra Shah in the Sohrabuddin case, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation into the alleged police encounter and the subsequent disappearance of Kausarbi. The Court held that the CBI must continue its investigation despite the submission of a charge-sheet by the Gujarat Police, asserting its authority to monitor the case under the writ jurisdiction. The Court also considered the transfer petition to move the trial outside Gujarat, highlighting concerns over the integrity of the investigation and trial process.
