Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Delhi High Court's order regarding the extension of time to file a charge-sheet under the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act, 1999 (MCOCA), specifically Sections 3 and 4. The Court held that the prosecution must adhere to the statutory timelines for filing charge-sheets, emphasizing the importance of timely justice. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, reinforcing the necessity of compliance with procedural requirements under MCOCA.
