The Supreme Court of India, exercising its extraordinary constitutional powers, has developed a robust jurisprudence on the transfer of criminal investigations from one agency to another. This power stems from the Court's role as the ultimate guardian of constitutional rights and the rule of law. While the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 does not explicitly provide for transfer of investigation between agencies, the Supreme Court has invoked its plenary powers under Article 32 and Article 142 of the Constitution to order such transfers when necessary to ensure a fair, impartial, and effective investigation. The Court has consistently held that the credibility of the investigation process is integral to the criminal justice system and a vital component of the right to a fair trial under Article 21.
