Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed Writ Petition No. 149 of 2012 under Article 32, challenging the validity of a fresh FIR and charge sheet filed by the CBI against Amitbhai Anilchandra Shah in connection with the murder of Tulsiram Prajapati. The Court held that the petitioner’s rights under Articles 14, 20, and 21 were not violated, and emphasized that the second FIR could not be treated as supplementary to the first FIR, aligning with the precedent set in C. Muniappan & Ors. vs. State of Tamil Nadu (2010) 9 SCC 567. The Court ultimately dismissed the writ petition, affirming the CBI's jurisdiction in the matter.
