Himanshu Kumar and Others vs State of Chhattisgarh and Others

Bench: 2 — J.B. Pardiwala

In Brief

A writ petition sought CBI investigation into alleged security force killings of tribals in Chhattisgarh in 2009. The Supreme Court rejected the petition, finding that investigations had already been completed with charge sheets filed against alleged Naxalites, not security forces. Statements of family members recorded by court order contradicted the petition's claims and showed ignorance of its allegations. No prima facie case for investigative bias existed. The Court also noted that false charges appeared to have been made against security forces with intent to cause injury, potentially violating Section 211 IPC, and directed state/CBI to take appropriate steps.
