In Brief
Three petitioners who were examined as witnesses in an investigation alleged torture by the investigating agency and sought directions for an enquiry against authorities in this writ petition. The State disputed these allegations. The Supreme Court held that while such grievances require consideration, the appropriate forum for redressal is the High Court. The Court granted liberty to the petitioners to move the concerned High Court with suitable remedies while clarifying that this grant did not imply doubt regarding the investigation process itself. The petition was disposed accordingly.
