Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Designated Court's order under the TADA (P) Act, 1987, which rejected the CBI's application for adding charges under Section 302 IPC and other relevant sections. The Court held that the Designated Court erred in not allowing the addition of charges, emphasizing the necessity of including all relevant charges to ensure justice in cases involving serious offenses like bomb blasts. The judgment reinforced the importance of thorough investigation and appropriate charge framing under the applicable statutes, including the TADA Act and IPC.
