Case No.: Criminal Appeal No. – 203 Of 2022

Court Observation: “Fair and unbiased investigation are the fundamental canons of our criminal jurisprudence and are quite in conformity with the constitutional mandate enshrined in Articles 20 and 21 of the Constitution of India. Every investigation has to be conducted in a fair manner and in accordance with law. Fair and proper investigation is the primary duty of the investigating officer. In every civilized society, the police is invested with powers of investigation of a crime to secure 35 punishment for the criminals and it is in the interest of the society that the investigating agency must act honestly and fairly and did not resort to fabricating false evidence or creating false clues because such acts shake the confidence of the common people not only in the investigating agency, but in the ultimate analysis in the system of dispensation of criminal justice”
