In Brief
A complainant alleged his son was wrongfully killed by police in 2002. The High Court of Delhi directed the CBI to investigate. After the CBI filed a closure report, a magistrate accepted it, and the complainant challenged this through revision petitions. The Delhi High Court dismissed the revision, directing the complainant to approach the Sessions Judge instead. The Supreme Court, noting 16 years of delay and the constitutional right to speedy justice, set aside the High Court's order and remitted the case for the High Court to decide on merits without further delay, leaving the broader question of concurrent revisionary jurisdiction open.
