In Navinchandra N. Majithia v State of Meghalaya (2000), could the court direct the statutory police investigation to be financed by the complainant because the State lacked funds?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The Supreme Court set aside the directions requiring complainant funding: "No; official police investigation must be State-funded and insulated from private financial influence." Police investigation must proceed with equal diligence regardless of the complainant's wealth, and financial difficulty does not justify dependence on private funding.
