Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court disposed of the Writ Petition (Crl.) No.63 of 2007 under Article 32, directing the petitioner to approach the Gujarat High Court for resolution, as a related petition (Special Criminal Application No.822/2004) was already pending there. The Court emphasized that it did not address the merits of the case, leaving that for the High Court to decide within six months. This decision underscores the principle of judicial economy and the appropriate forum for addressing such matters.
