Specific Directions

  1. 1.The special leave petition is dismissed.

Precedential Assessment

Non-Binding (Procedural)

This is a summary dismissal of a Special Leave Petition without providing any detailed reasoning or laying down new legal principles. It is a procedural order and does not create binding precedent on points of law.

Tips for Legal Practice

1.Special Leave Petitions in criminal matters face a high threshold for admission and intervention by the Supreme Court, especially at the admission stage.
2.A summary dismissal without reasoned order indicates the Supreme Court did not find a substantial question of law or grave injustice warranting interference.
3.Counsels must ensure all necessary applications (like exemption from filing O.T., bail, proof of surrender) are duly filed alongside the SLP.
