Grounds for Seeking Change of Investigation

Biased or Prejudiced Investigations

When investigating officers display bias or prejudice, it compromises case fairness. Lawyers document such behavior, gather evidence, and petition courts for transfer to neutral investigators, ensuring an unbiased investigation.

Incompetence and Negligence by Investigators

Failure to investigate properly, ignoring evidence, or showing incompetence are valid reasons for changing the investigation. Legal experts prepare detailed applications highlighting these deficiencies to protect client rights.

Corruption and Misconduct in Investigations

Corrupt practices or misconduct during investigations undermine justice. Lawyers take swift legal action to expose corruption and secure transfer orders to competent, honest investigating authorities.

Legal Process for Change of Investigation

Case Assessment and Documentation

Criminal lawyers review all case details, investigating officer conduct, and evidence handling to identify grounds for transfer. Proper documentation is essential to build a strong legal case.

Filing and Court Representation

Lawyers prepare and submit comprehensive applications backed by legal precedents. They provide aggressive court representation to present compelling arguments for investigation transfer, ensuring prompt judicial decisions.

Immediate Legal Response

Given the urgency, 24/7 legal support is often necessary. Experienced lawyers ensure quick action to prevent further bias or tampering with evidence during ongoing investigations.

Types of Change of Investigation Cases

Transfer Within Police Stations

To avoid local biases, investigations may be transferred to different police stations for fair inquiry, free from local influence.

Transfer to Higher Police Authorities

Cases involving serious allegations are transferred to district police or specialized units for impartial investigation.

Transfer to Specialized Agencies

Complex or high-profile cases often require investigation by agencies like the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) or Anti-Corruption departments for expertise and neutrality.
