#FIR investigation

Allahabad HC disposed of a mandamus petition seeking expeditious investigation in Case Crime No. 0496/2026, directing authorities to complete probe under BNS sections 115(2), 118(2), 125, 333, 351(3), 109(1), 3(5) without delay. The court granted liberty to approach the Magistrate if needed, citing Sakiri Vasu (2008) 2 SCC 409.

The Punjab & Haryana High Court has ruled that an unexplained delay of over two years in filing a charge sheet under BNSS Section 193 amounts to a violation of the right to speedy justice under Article 21. It ordered the investigation to be concluded within three months, establishing that judicial supervision is mandatory when investigative agencies fail to meet procedural deadlines, directly impacting victims and accused alike.
