In Brief
The petitioners sought relief under Article 32 of the Constitution, asking the Supreme Court to appoint a Special Investigation Team or direct CBI investigation into multiple First Information Reports (FIRs) registered in 2013–2014 across different states under various IPC sections. The Court dismissed the petition, holding that the appropriate forum for seeking relief, including quashing of FIRs, is the jurisdictional High Court, not the Supreme Court. The Court found that no case existed for entertaining an Article 32 petition when effective alternative remedies were available, particularly given the delay in approach and failure of prior proceedings.
