Court critiques CBI's selective case handling, acquits official

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

A court has criticized a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officer for what it called a "pick and choose policy." This term refers to the officer's selective approach in handling cases. The court made this statement while acquitting a tax official who had been accused of wrongdoing. The judge expressed concern over the unfairness of the CBI officer’s actions. The court stated that the officer only targeted certain individuals while ignoring others involved in similar situations. This behavior undermines justice and creates distrust in the legal system. As a result of the ruling, the tax official is now free from the charges against them. This case highlights ongoing issues in investigative practices and the need for accountability within law enforcement agencies.
