Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Review Petition filed by the State of Madhya Pradesh, affirming that the authority to extend the time for completing an investigation under the UAPA lies solely with the court, not the magistrate. The court relied on its previous ruling in Bikramjit Singh vs. State of Punjab, which clarified this jurisdictional issue. The petition was dismissed as the grounds presented did not demonstrate any apparent error warranting interference.
