Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Madras High Court erred in allowing the Criminal Revisions under Section 397 Cr.P.C. against interlocutory orders of the Trial Court, which were barred under Section 397(2) Cr.P.C. The Court emphasized that the High Court's failure to issue notice to the appellant/complainant before ordering the production of personal documents was unjust, as it could have caused prejudice. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and allowed the appeals.
