Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Delhi High Court's order rejecting the contempt application of the appellant, a Deputy Director in the Enforcement Directorate. The Court emphasized the importance of fair trial rights under Article 21 of the Constitution, particularly in cases involving allegations of misconduct by law enforcement officials. The Court held that the failure to disclose critical information from Interpol regarding the appellant's travel history constituted a violation of due process, thereby allowing the appeal and setting aside the High Court's order.
