Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's interpretation of 'case' under Article 134(1)(c) of the Constitution was incorrect, as it pertains to individual persons rather than the collective appeal. The Court found that the High Court misdirected itself regarding the exercise of discretion in granting certificates to the two convicts, leading to an improper issuance of a certificate under Article 134(1)(c). Consequently, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, ruling that the case was not suitable for special leave under Article 136(1).
