State Through Inspector Of Police Cbi ... vs Naresh Prasad Agarwal

The Supreme Court set aside the impugned judgment of the Madras High Court in Criminal O.P.No.21243/2014 and Criminal Revision Case No.1191/2015, citing gross impropriety for the delay in delivering a reasoned judgment after the judge demitted office. The Court emphasized that justice must not only be done but must also be seen to be done, and remitted the cases back to the High Court for a fresh decision without adjudicating on the merits. The appeals were partly allowed, restoring the matters for reconsideration by the High Court.
