West Bengal's Suit Against Union Govt Challenging CBI Registering FIRs Maintainable : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court held that West Bengal's suit challenging the CBI's investigation into certain cases is not maintainable, as only individuals directly affected by an investigation have locus standi. The court emphasized that states can't intervene in individual criminal cases merely to assert their executive authority. This decision reaffirms the principles of federalism and the separation of powers between the Centre and the states in matters of law enforcement.
