Zorawar Singh & Anr vs Gurbax Singh Bains & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to transfer the investigation of a road accident case to the CBI, emphasizing the necessity of an impartial inquiry due to the serious nature of the allegations, including potential murder under Section 302 IPC. The Court noted that the initial FIR under Sections 304A, 279, 337, and 427 IPC was based on incomplete facts, as highlighted by the DIG's report, which recommended the addition of Section 302 IPC. The Court affirmed that the integrity of the investigation was paramount, leading to the conclusion that an independent agency was required to ensure justice.
