Vijay Kumar Thakur vs State Of Karnataka & Ors

The Supreme Court, in a Writ Petition under Article 32 of the Constitution, directed the State Criminal Investigation Department (C.I.D.) to conduct an impartial investigation into a murder case, instead of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as initially requested by the petitioner. The Court found the modification reasonable, ensuring that the investigation would be overseen by a police officer of the rank of Director General of Police (D.G.P.) and mandated completion within six months. The Writ Petition was disposed of with this directive.
