Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed the constitution of a Special Investigating Team (SIT) to re-investigate FIR No. 221 of 2001 concerning the murder of Smt. Seema Garg and her children, citing inadequate investigation by the police as a basis for the order. The Court emphasized the necessity for a fair and thorough investigation, noting that the previous trial court had found the investigation to be unsatisfactory. The SIT was tasked with submitting its report within three months, highlighting the Court's commitment to ensuring justice under Article 21 of the Constitution.
