NEW DELHI: (May 16) The Supreme Court has asked Delhi Police to conclude its probe into the brutal assault of a woman advocate allegedly by her husband at the earliest, while ensuring the protection of the victim and her children.

A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi said the police should ensure that the investigation was conducted in a dispassionate, fair and impartial manner.

The apex court last month took suo motu cognisance after advocate Sneha Kalita wrote a letter to the CJI seeking urgent intervention in the matter and grant of compensation under the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) victim compensation scheme.
