SUNITA DEVI vs UNION OF INDIA AND ORS. MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS SECRETARY

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. The Court emphasized the necessity for a fair and complete investigation, as the trial court had noted the lack of proper inquiry. The SIT, led by a retired CBI officer, was tasked to submit its report within three months, ensuring that the real culprits are brought to justice under Sections 302 and 394 IPC.
