29. Though public law remedy by directing compensation to be paid to the victims/heirs of victims had W.A. No. 704 of 2013 -: 39 :- been exercised by the constitutional court in several cases, no judgment had been cited before us to indicate that any such relief had been granted in an instance where there had been delay in investigation. If such a view is taken, every case in which investigation cannot progress on account of various circumstances, may result in claim for compensation. We are mindful of the observation made by the Supreme Court in Sube Singh (supra) wherein it is held that "Difficulties in criminal investigation and the time required for such investigation should be recognised, and police should be allowed to function methodically without interferences or unnecessary pressures. If police are to perform better, the public should support them, Government should strengthen and equip them, and men in power should not interfere or belittle them. The three wings of the Government should encourage, insist and ensure thorough scientific investigation under proper legal procedures, followed by prompt and efficient prosecution."
