Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the role of the complainant under Section 301 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) during the discharge stage of a criminal case. The Court held that while the complainant's role is limited, they are entitled to be heard at the stage of discharge under Section 239 CrPC, as their interest in the prosecution is significant. The Court modified the High Court's order, allowing the complainant to participate in the proceedings, thereby affirming the right to be heard in such circumstances.
