Case Note & Summary
The Supreme Court of India was hearing a Review Petition (Criminal) No. 410 of 2021 in Special Leave Petition (Criminal) No. 1482 of 2021. The petitioner, B. G. Uday, sought review of the Supreme Court's earlier dismissal of a Special Leave Petition. The Special Leave Petition had challenged the High Court's order which had rejected the challenge to the trial court's order dated October 22, 2020, taking cognizance of an offence. The Supreme Court had previously dismissed the Special Leave Petition after considering the material on record and finding no case for interference. In the review petition, the Supreme Court examined whether there was any error apparent on record that would justify interference. The court found no such error and dismissed the review petition. The judgment was delivered by a bench comprising Justices Uday Umesh Lalit, S. Ravindra Bhat, and Bela M. Trivedi on November 30, 2021.
