R.M.TEWARI, ADV. vs STATE (NCT OF DELHI) .

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987 (TADA Act), except for Section 22, while emphasizing the need for a Screening Committee to prevent misuse of its provisions. The Court mandated that both Central and State governments establish review committees to scrutinize TADA cases and ensure proper application of the law. The Court held that the Designated Court's dismissal of applications for withdrawal of charges under TADA, based solely on administrative recommendations, was erroneous, reinforcing the necessity of judicial oversight in such matters.
