BHARATI TAMANG vs UNION OF INDIA & ORS.

The Supreme Court addressed the writ petition filed by Bharati Tamang, seeking a fresh investigation into the murder of her husband, Madan Tamang, under Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized the need for a fair and impartial investigation, given the alleged shortcomings of the previous inquiries conducted by the State police, CID, and CBI. The Court ultimately directed the formation of an independent Special Investigation Team to conduct a de novo investigation into the murder, thereby ensuring justice and accountability.
