11. In Rubabbuddin Sheikh, the petitioner was the brother of one Sohrabuddin who was alleged to have been killed by officials of Gujarat Police in fake encounter. The Supreme Court was considering whether investigation of the case could be transferred to CBI after charge-sheet was filed. The Supreme Court noted that admittedly the accusations were directed against the police personnel. In the facts of the case before it, the Supreme Court observed that in an appropriate case when the court feels that the investigation by the police authorities is not in the proper direction and in order to do complete justice in the case and as the high officials are involved in the case, it was always open to the court to hand over the investigation to the independent agency like CBI.
