Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the obligation of the prosecution to produce the original complaint/application in a case under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, specifically under Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(e) and Section 109 IPC. The Court held that the prosecution is not bound to disclose the identity of the complainant or the original complaint if it does not rely on it for its case. The petitioner's request for the original complaint was denied, affirming the lower court's decision, as the prosecution's investigation was based on sufficient materials collected independently.
