Article 21 & Article 226 | State Must Conduct Time-Bound Fair Investigation into Formal Representation: MP HC Gwalior
The Madhya Pradesh High Court at Gwalior has directed the Superintendent of Police to complete a fair and impartial investigation into a citizen's formal representation within three months, affirming that the state's constitutional duty under Article 21 extends to ensuring timely, non-negotiable probes when public grievances are formally raised. This ruling binds all police authorities to treat representations not as administrative formalities but as triggers for enforceable constitutional obligations.
