But that doesn't mean you take away from his supervision the entire work," the Court orally remarked.
The petition was filed after videos purportedly showing Lamba slapping a woman during the recent Jantar Mantar protest surfaced online.
The petitioner argued that the incident created a reasonable apprehension of bias in a police inquiry being conducted under Lamba's administrative supervision.
The Court further noted that transferring the inquiry solely on the basis of such allegations would amount to holding the officer guilty without trial.
After the High Court directed that her statement be recorded before the inquiry was finalised, she filed the present plea seeking transfer of the inquiry from Lamba's supervision.
