Summary

The Bombay High Court, through Justices Ranjit More and R.G. Ketkar, allowed multiple petitions challenging investigation orders under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court quashed and set aside the impugned orders directing investigation and the related FIRs registered against the petitioners. The judgment emphasizes the Court's authority to scrutinize and invalidate investigation orders when found unsustainable, thereby protecting petitioners from unwarranted criminal proceedings.
