Om Parkash Sharma vs Central Bureau Of Investigation, Delhi

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court which affirmed the Special Judge's rejection of the appellant's application under Section 91 of the Cr.P.C. for summoning documents. The Court emphasized that the exercise of discretion under Section 91 must be judicious and that the documents sought were not necessary or relevant to demonstrate the improbability of the prosecution's case. The Court found no merit in the appellant's claims of malafides against the CBI, concluding that the High Court's order was neither illegal nor vitiated by any infirmity.
