In Brief
Three petitioners who were treated as witnesses in an investigation alleged torture by the investigating agency and sought Supreme Court intervention for an inquiry. The State disputed the torture allegations. The Supreme Court declined to intervene at the apex level, finding the High Court to be the appropriate forum. While not expressing doubt about the investigation, the Court granted the petitioners liberty to approach the concerned High Court for redressal through appropriate remedy. The petition was disposed with this direction.
