In what cases does the Supreme Court recommend transferring probes to CBI
The Supreme Court recommends transferring probes to CBI only in rare cases.
The Supreme Court of India recommends transferring probes to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in only rare cases. Here are some instances where such recommendations may be made:
- When the case involves a high-ranking government official or a public servant holding a position that may have influence over the investigation.
- When there is a possibility of bias or interference in the investigation at the local level, especially in cases where the local law enforcement or state agencies may be implicated or compromised.
- In cases where multiple jurisdictions are involved, and coordination between different state police forces becomes difficult.
- When there is a lack of expertise or resources at the local level to conduct a comprehensive and unbiased investigation, such as complex financial crimes or cases requiring specialized forensic knowledge.
- When there is a need to maintain public confidence and trust in the investigation process, particularly in sensitive cases of national importance or those that have attracted significant media attention.
