Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the CBI Special Judge's order dated 01.03.2018, which denied the appellant's request to use immovable property as security for the release of frozen amounts. The Court held that the land, allotted to the appellant by the State of Maharashtra, could be accepted as security despite being the subject matter of the case, emphasizing the importance of access to justice. The appeal was disposed of with directions to the Special Judge to accept the security and release the amounts.
