Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition concerning the alleged massacre of tribals in Chhattisgarh, where the petitioners sought a CBI investigation and compensation for victims. The court emphasized the need for an impartial investigation into the allegations against state-sponsored forces and the importance of accountability in cases of extrajudicial actions. The petition was partly allowed, directing the state to ensure a thorough investigation and consider compensation for the victims' families.
