History

Historical Context

In 1997-98 the Supreme Court’s Vineet Narain judgment, prompted by journalist Vineet Narain’s PIL, ordered judicial monitoring of the CBI and its reports to the court. The ruling forced the agency, then overseeing more than 1,000 high-profile investigations, to submit regular updates, a practice echoed today as the Madhya Pradesh High Court summons AIIMS Delhi and AIIMS Bhopal for forensic review in a homicide charge-sheet.
