Badlapur Encounter: Parents Of Deceased Seek To Withdraw Case Against Cops, High Court Grills State On Why FIR Not Lodged Yet

Live Law  

The parents of the now deceased accused in the infamous Badlapur Sexual assault case on Thursday told the Bombay High Court that they no longer wish to pursue their petition seeking an independent investigation in the "custodial death" of their son. Meanwhile, senior counsel Amit Desai assisted by Chief Public Prosecutor Hiten Venegavkar and Additional Public Prosecutor Prajakta Shinde told the bench that it will be deciding on whether to register an FIR or not only after the Judicial Commission headed by former Chief Justice Dilip Bhosale of the Allahabad High Court, submits its report. The senior advocate further argued that since the case involved custodial death, an FIR should only be filed if there was "unimpeachable evidence" as per precedents set by the Supreme Court. Countering Desai's contention, the counsel representing the parents of the deceased argued that if an FIR was lodged against the deceased merely on an information, then why can't an FIR be lodged against the cops, when there is a full-fledged report of a judicial officer.
