CJ- So an FIR was registered?
AG- No. I first want to rely on an SC judgement to explain.
Nanakani tries to speak about the apprehension of getting justice
CJ Datta- Justice is a long way.
States that first, there is an FIR then a charge-sheet...
The Court, however, states that the investigation has to be done by investigating agency.
CJ Datta- Why has no FIR been lodged by anybody?
Nanakani - The Court can monitor the investigation.
CJ Datta - Tom if a prime minister or the Home Minister is involved, who will investigate? You want a super power from outside to investigate?
CJ Datta- The investigation triggered by an FIR.
If the home minister or the CM may be involved, we can't set aside provisions of CrPC.
CJ Datta- The magistrate can inquire himself. When you want an investigation, FIR is the first step.
