FIR Must Be Registered if Cognizable Offence Made Out; Alternative Remedy Not an Absolute Bar to HC Jurisdiction: Supreme Court

The Honourable Supreme Court of India has once again reinforced the rule of law by holding that:
✅ FIR must be registered if a cognizable offence is made out.
✅ Alternative remedy is not an absolute bar to the jurisdiction of the High Court under Article 226.
✅ Investigators themselves can be investigated, ensuring accountability within the system.

Strong View by Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate Supreme Court, Leading Expert in POCSO Cases & Human Rights Defender:

“This judgment is a milestone in upholding the constitutional mandate of fairness, justice, and accountability. It ensures that the victims of crime are not left remediless, even in the face of systemic hurdles. The principle that even investigators can be investigated strengthens the very foundation of trust in the justice delivery system. The Supreme Court has sent a loud and clear message – no one is above the law, and access to justice cannot be denied.”

Strong Appreciation

Dr. Anthony Raju expresses his deep appreciation to the Honourable Supreme Court for safeguarding the rights of victims and ensuring judicial oversight where necessary. This verdict will have far-reaching impact, especially in sensitive matters like POCSO cases, human rights violations, and custodial excesses.
