S. K. Bhatt vs State Of U.P. And Others

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether an order summoning an accused is an interlocutory order under Section 397(2) Cr.P.C. The Court held that such an order is not interlocutory, thus allowing the High Court's jurisdiction to review the matter on merits. The Court directed the petitioner to seek expungement of certain remarks made by the High Court, emphasizing that the High Court should decide the application without bias from the current order.
