Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court set aside the order of the CBI Special Judge that denied the appellant's offer of immovable property as security for the release of frozen amounts. The Court held that the land, which was allotted to the appellant by the State of Maharashtra, could be accepted as security despite being the subject matter of the case. The Court emphasized that denying access to funds for litigation expenses would impede the appellant's right to justice, thus directing the Special Judge to accept the security and release the amounts.
