Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of freeze orders imposed on a foreign investor by the CBI under Section 102 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, in the context of ongoing criminal investigations. The Court analyzed whether such orders violated the rights of the appellant, a foreign institutional investor, and whether procedural safeguards were followed. The Court emphasized the importance of balancing investigative needs with individual rights and upheld the validity of the freeze orders, provided they adhere to legal standards.
