Case Summary: NHRC v. Brij Raj Meena (Crl.A. 322/2001) The Supreme Court allowed the National Human Rights Commission's appeal on March 22, 2001, setting aside the High Court's order that had quashed the charge-sheet against Brij Raj Meena, a Superintendent of Police. The High Court had wrongly relied on UP Police Regulation paragraph 486 (applicable only to departmental inquiries, not criminal investigations) and prematurely invoked section 197 CrPC (which applies only at cognizance stage, not investigation stage). The Supreme Court directed the concerned Magistrate to proceed against Meena in accordance with law, while preserving his right to file permissible objections. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
