Narmada Bai vs State Of Gujarat & Ors on 8 April, 2011
6. Mr. Dayan Krishnan, the learned Additional Standing Counsel for the
Respondents fairly concedes that this Court has ample power to order for
CBI investigation, but it can be done only in exceptional cases where the
Court finds that the State police including its specialized agencies would
be unable to carry out fair and impartial investigation. A reference in this
connection may be made to Narmada Bai v. State of Gujarat, (2011) 5
WP.(Crl.).868/2012 Page 3 of 5
SCC 79, Rubabbuddin Sheikh v. State of Gujarat, (2010) 2 SCC 200 and
Mohd. Anis v. Union of India, 1994 Supp.(1) SCC 145.
