जाँच में भेद भाव सुप्रीम कोर्ट को नहीं स्वीकार्य , बड़े आदमी की शिकायत पर जाँच करना और आम आदमी को मना करना समानता के अधिकार का हनन।
Delhi: In a vital judgment passed by supreme court that demanding investigation in any complaint is fundamental rights. The Police and other organisation cannot deny investigation on complaints. In present scenerio the investigation is done only on VIP complaints. Police and other agencies are conducting Inquiry on common men complaints . The Inquiry means taking statement and investigation means to search till root level. Search and raid is part of investigation which can be done by FIR registration only .
In Hallu & Ors. vs. the State of M.P, it was held that “Section 154 does not require that the Report must be given by a person who has personal knowledge of the incident reported. The section speaks of information relating to the commission of a cognizable offense given to an officer in charge of a police station.”
"13. In the facts and circumstances of this case, we find that every citizen of this country has a right to get his or her complaint properly investigated. The legal framework of investigation provided under our laws cannot be made selectively available only to some persons and denied to others. This is a question of equal protection of laws and is covered by the guarantee under Article 14 of the Constitution. The issue is akin to ensuring an equal access to justice. A fair and proper investigation is always conducive to the ends of justice and for establishing rule of law and maintaining proper balance in law and order. These are very vital issues in a democratic set up which must be taken care of by the Courts."
