A division bench comprising Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Sanjeev Berry observed that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by the Chandigarh administration is conducting a fair and satisfactory inquiry. The court noted that no evidence suggested bias or negligence in the investigation process.
