Selvi J.Jayalalithaa & Ors vs State Of Karnataka & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the removal of Shri G. Bhavani Singh as Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) by the Government of Karnataka was invalid as it violated the procedural requirement of consulting the Chief Justice of the High Court as mandated by the Court's earlier directions. The Court emphasized that such appointments must adhere to the principles of fair trial and due process under Article 21 of the Constitution. Consequently, the Court quashed the notification removing the SPP and directed the Government to appoint a new SPP in accordance with the established procedure.
