https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=298453 A direction for CBI investigation is an extraordinary remedy to be used sparingly and only in exceptional cases where ordinary statutory remedies are inadequate. Allegations that one accused is a police officer, or that the local investigation is unsatisfactory, do not by themselves justify transfer under inherent jurisdiction. The proper course is to use the remedies under Sections 154(3) and 156(3) CrPC and supervisory mechanisms involving a superior police officer or Magistrate. As no exceptional circumstance was shown, the CBI reference was unwarranted and was set aside; investigation was directed to be conducted by a police officer senior in rank to the accused officer. en-us Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 22 Dec 2022 14:58:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=298453 A direction for CBI investigation is an extraordinary remedy to be used sparingly and only in exceptional cases where ordinary statutory remedies are inadequate.
