Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted leave to the appellant, the widow of Raju Pal, seeking a CBI investigation into her husband's murder, which was allegedly orchestrated by political rivals with police complicity. The Court emphasized the necessity of a thorough investigation under Article 21, ensuring the right to life and personal liberty. The High Court's refusal to grant relief was set aside, and the matter was remanded for appropriate action by the CBI.
