Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, in a series of criminal appeals, addressed the procedural aspects of granting special leave to appeal under Article 136 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized the necessity of a prima facie case for the exercise of discretion in granting such leave. The appeals were allowed, and the matter was remanded for further consideration, establishing that the threshold for special leave is not merely a formality but requires substantial grounds.
