Govt Servants, Investigating Officers Expected To Discharge Duty And Ensure 'Truth Alone Triumphs': Madras High Court
Live LawThe Madras High Court recently remarked that an investigating officer is expected to conduct the investigation in a fair manner and find out the genuineness of a complaint. Justice B. Pugalendhi remarked that the motto of the Government is Truth alone triumphs and thus, it is the responsibility of every government servant to ensure the same. “The motto of the government in its emblem is Truth Alone Triumphs and therefore, it is the responsibility of every government servant including the investigating officer to discharge their duty as expected by the government and to ensure Truth alone Triumphs,” the court remarked. The court thus disposed of the petition granting liberty to the investigating officer to conduct the investigation fairly by verifying the materials and completing the investigation as expeditiously as possible.
