JIGAR @ JIMMY PRAVINCHANDRA ADATIYA vs STATE OF GUJARAT

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of extended detention periods under the Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organised Crime Act, 2015, in relation to the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The court upheld the amendments allowing Special Courts to extend the investigation period from 90 to 180 days, provided there is a report from the Public Prosecutor justifying the need for continued detention. The judgment reinforces the balance between individual rights and the state's interest in prosecuting serious crimes.
