On multiple occasions, the courts rejected “closure reports” filed by probe agencies mainly citing lack of evidence, or reprimanded them for lapses in investigation. In the 2016 Karnataka PUC Chemistry paper leak, for example, the Bengaluru Sessions Court acquitted 19 accused, including senior officials and the alleged kingpin booked under the stringent Karnataka Control of Organised Crime Act (KCOCA), in May 2024, citing serious investigative shortcomings. In another case from that year — the UP Public Service Commission examination for the posts of Review Officer and Assistant Review Officer — a Special Judicial Magistrate rejected the closure report filed by the UP Police’s CB-CID in 2018 and ordered a reinvestigation in 2020.
