💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has stated that high courts are empowered to delegate investigations to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), but must provide reasoning as to why they deem the state police investigation unfair. The court made this observation while setting aside a Calcutta High Court order directing the CBI to conduct a preliminary examination in a case related to the recruitment and regularization of voluntary teachers in the Gorkha Territorial Administration (GTA).
