Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed petitions under Article 32 concerning the transfer of investigations related to FIRs registered under various sections of the IPC and the IT Act. The Court held that the investigations must be conducted by an independent agency, such as the CBI, to ensure impartiality, given the allegations of a nexus between the prosecuting agency and state officials. The Court also emphasized the need for a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the matter thoroughly, thereby upholding the principles of justice and fair investigation.
