A police officer's conduct during a caste certificate case investigation has been criticized by a court. The officer's actions were seen as an attempt to favour the accused and hinder the petitioner's legal options. A bench of justices noted that the investigating officer had exceeded his authority, possibly to help the accused.

The court's comments came during a hearing for a petition seeking to transfer the investigation of an FIR. The petitioner alleged that the investigation was not being conducted properly.

Further details about the case and the court's decision are available from the source.
