Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals against the Calcutta High Court's order regarding the prosecution of police officers involved in the death of Khagen Majhi. The Court examined the applicability of Sections 302, 201, and 120B read with Section 34 of the IPC, determining that the High Court's decision to set aside the Magistrate's order and commit the complaint case to the Sessions Court was justified. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling, affirming the need for a thorough investigation into the allegations against the police officers.
