Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to transfer the investigation of the murder of activist Amit Jethwa to the CBI, citing Sections 302 and 114 IPC along with Section 25(1) of the Arms Act, 1959. The Court dismissed the special leave petitions filed by Dinubhai Boghabhai Solanki and the State of Gujarat, affirming that no special treatment is warranted for a sitting MP accused of murder. Bail was granted to Mr. Solanki under specific conditions, emphasizing that the trial's duration justified his release despite the serious charges against him.
