Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that concessions made before the court, as recorded in the judgment, cannot be resiled later, except in rare and appropriate cases. It emphasized that judicial records are conclusive and cannot be contradicted by statements at the Bar or affidavits. The Court ruled that in cases involving the prosecution of a Chief Minister under Section 6 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, the Governor must act in his discretion, not on the advice of the Council of Ministers, thereby dismissing the Special Leave Petition.
