JITENDRA KUMAR RODE vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court granted permission to appeal and addressed two key questions regarding the appellate court's ability to uphold a conviction in the absence of records and whether the language used in Section 385 of the Criminal Procedure Code violates the fundamental rights under Article 21. The court emphasized the importance of understanding the regional language in legal proceedings and upheld the previous ruling of the High Court regarding the conviction under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
