The petitioner sought a direction for an independent enquiry by an agency other than the police, into both the incident and the conduct of the police officials handling the matter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The petitioner emphasised on the symbolic and emotional significance of Dr. Ambedkar&#8217;s statue and expressed grave concern over the delay and quality of the police investigation. The petitioner stressed the need for accountability and independent oversight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">On the other hand, respondents\/State submitted that prompt action had been taken upon receiving the information through the Dial 100 facility at around 9:00 PM on 11-02-2025, and ASI reached the spot by 9:30 PM. Subsequently, a formal complaint was registered at 12:10 PM on 12-02-2025, followed by registration of FIR under Sections <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803653\" target=\"_blank\">298<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803654\" target=\"_blank\">299<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803683\" target=\"_blank\">324(2)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001804326\" target=\"_blank\">Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita, 2023<\/a> (BNS). It was stated that although a person later claimed to have overheard confessions of some individuals regarding the vandalism, the statement was found unsubstantiated upon verification. It was lastly submitted that efforts are still ongoing to identify and arrest the actual culprits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court observed that since <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;FIR has already been lodged,&#8221;<\/span> and an active investigation is ongoing under the supervision of the Superintendent of Police (SP), no further direction for independent enquiry is warranted at this stage. The Court stated that the affidavit filed reassured the Court that the Superintendent of Police, Seoni is <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;fully cognizant of the seriousness of the matter that has hurt sentiments of public.&#8221;<\/span> The Court noted the assurance that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;every effort is being made to ensure that the investigation is thorough, impartial and leads to identification and prosecution of culprits.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court disposed of the writ petition with a direction that the investigation shall continue, and a monthly report shall be filed before the concerned Magistrate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Jitendra Ahirwar<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">State of M.P.<\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/81uuj6c2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2025 SCC OnLine MP 3668<\/a>, Decided on 07-05-2025<\/span>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">*Judgment by Chief Justice Suresh Kumar Kait<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case :<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\">Shri D.K.
