Karnataka High Court Clarifies 'No Coercive Steps' Does Not Halt Investigation
The Karnataka High Court clarified that an order directing 'no coercive steps' means no arrests can be made, but does not halt the investigation process. Justice M Nagaprasanna emphasized that barring 'precipitative action' suspends the entire probe, which was not the case in a cheating investigation involving Pavitra Ramanujam. The court noted that an earlier interim order stayed an attachment but did not prevent investigative actions, addressing concerns raised by the Enforcement Directorate.
