Why did the Supreme Court decline to interfere in the corruption case against H.D. Kumaraswamy
Understand the Supreme Court's decision to not intervene in the corruption case involving H.D. Kumaraswamy.
1. The Supreme Court declined to interfere in the corruption case against H.D. Kumaraswamy citing the principles of federalism and separation of powers.
2. The Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's order that rejected Kumaraswamy's plea seeking to quash the FIR filed against him.
- The Supreme Court emphasized that interference in an ongoing investigation could undermine the state police's authority and discretion.
- The Court reiterated that it should not quash an FIR unless it is found to be an abuse of process of law or lacks merit, demonstrating a reluctance to intervene in state-level cases.
- This decision reinforces the idea that state police and courts have the primary responsibility in dealing with cases at the state level and shows respect for their autonomy.
