MP High Court Denies CBI Probe In 2007 Fake Encounter Case But Orders State To Pay Rs 1 Lakh Cost For Insensitivity Of Police Dept

The Madhya Pradesh High Court denied the CBI investigation request for a fake police encounter case involving alleged extrajudicial killings. The court determined that the case did not warrant CBI intervention, suggesting that the state police were capable of handling the investigation. The petitioners had argued that the police had manipulated the case and that a CBI probe was necessary for a fair and impartial investigation. However, the court held that the existing investigation by the local police was adequate and did not exhibit any signs of bias or misconduct.
