Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition seeking a mandamus for an independent investigation into the alleged police inaction during a violent incident at Dr. Ambedkar Government Law College, Chennai, on 12.11.2008. The Court emphasized the necessity of accountability for human rights violations, citing the need for an impartial inquiry by the CBI or SIT due to the alleged negligence of police personnel. The Court held that the petitioners' concerns regarding harassment and obstruction in pursuing their complaints warranted judicial intervention to ensure a fair investigation.
