Supreme Court Lashes Out Over Army Officer Assault Case

The Supreme Court on Monday sharply criticized officers of the Punjab police involved in an alleged assault on Colonel Pushpinder Singh Bath and his son during a parking dispute.

The Court emphasized the need for respect towards the Army, as police officers benefit from their protection. A bench of Justices Sanjay Kumar and Satish Chandra Sharma dismissed an appeal against the order transferring the probe to the CBI.

Despite ongoing inquiries, the accused remain unarrested, raising concerns about lawlessness. Justice Sharma highlighted the importance of a thorough investigation, urging transparency. Colonel Bath's allegations against multiple police personnel led to this appeal for a fair investigation.
