State Of Punjab vs Davinder Pal Singh Bhullar & Ors.Etc

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Section 362 and Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, determining that the High Court cannot entertain applications after final disposal of a criminal appeal, nor can it direct an investigating agency to follow an unusual procedure not aligned with statutory provisions. The Court emphasized the limitations of the High Court's inherent jurisdiction in such matters, thereby upholding the principle of finality in criminal proceedings. The appeals were allowed, setting aside the High Court's orders that contravened these legal principles.
