Saraswati Singh and Ors vs Shailesh Singh and Ors

Bench: 3 — D.Y. Chandrachud

In Brief

The petitioners sought a writ from the Supreme Court under Article 32 to appoint a Special Investigation Team or direct the CBI to conduct a fresh investigation into multiple FIRs filed in 2013-14 across several states. The Court dismissed the petition, holding that such reliefs must be sought before the jurisdictional High Courts rather than the Supreme Court. The Court found no grounds to exercise its original jurisdiction under Article 32, as the petitioners had adequate alternative remedies available in the competent High Courts with territorial jurisdiction over the FIRs.
