  "summary": "A Dalit family in Rajasthan's Bharatpur district has been experiencing a prolonged legal and investigative nightmare, with the police probe into their case of alleged land encroachment and attack changing hands six times in just two years. The victim, Jitendra Kumar, 24, filed a writ petition in the High Court seeking a fair investigation, completion of the probe, and the filing of a chargesheet against 12 accused belonging to the Gujjar community. The problem stems from the fact that the police investigation has lacked any supervisory review, with as many as six investigating officers handling the case without any conclusion. The High Court's intervention has been prompted due to the complete absence of any monitoring over the pending probe, and the court has directed the Public Prosecutor to obtain affidavits from all investigating officers and members of the supervisory committee, explaining the reasons for the delay and failure to complete the investigation within the statutory time limit of 60 days.",
