Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to overturn the single judge's order regarding police inaction was flawed. The Court emphasized that the CBI's investigation under Section 173(2) of the Cr.P.C. found no evidence to support the espionage allegations against the appellant and others, leading to their discharge. The Court directed the State Government to take appropriate action against the police officers involved in the investigation, underscoring the need for accountability in law enforcement.
