JAKIA NASIM AHESAN Vs. STATE OF GUJARAT

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE High Court's order does not render the petitioners remediless. But, various important aspects arise for consideration. In a given case, a person who has knowledge of the commission of a crime may not be examined by the police.

(2.) THE question is what is the remedy available to such person? We, therefore, issue notice only to Respondents 1 and 2 and the Union of India. Though, in the proceedings, the Central Bureau of Investigation is Respondent 3, there is presently no need for issuing any notice to CBI, as we would like to have the views of the Union of India also.
