Recently, the Supreme Court held that the power of the constitutional courts to transfer the investigation to the CBI must be exercised sparingly and in exceptional circumstances, however, the constitutional courts aren't restrained to transferring the investigation to the CBI for doing complete justice and ensuring there is no violation of fundamental rights. However, the High Court turned down the appellant's application stating that simply because the premises of the landlord had access to the room of the deceased it could not be said that they were guilty of committing the crime Considering the fact that the blood was spattered around the deceased body and finding no reason for a young girl to commit suicide, the Supreme Court observed that prima facie it does not seem to be a case of suicide but a homicidal death requiring the culprits to be apprehended. "This extraordinary power must be exercised sparingly, cautiously and in exceptional situations where it becomes necessary to provide credibility and instil confidence in investigations or where the incident may have national and international ramifications or where such an order may be necessary for doing complete justice and enforcing the fundamental rights…", the court observed in Committee for Protection of Democratic Rights, West Bengal case.
