casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: R.M. Tewari v. State (NCT of Delhi) Court Decision: The Supreme Court held that while Review Committees may recommend withdrawal of TADA prosecutions, courts cannot mechanically grant withdrawal applications based solely on such recommendations. The Public Prosecutor must independently satisfy itself that withdrawal meets legal requirements under Section 321 CrPC before seeking court consent, and courts must scrutinize the grounds with proper judicial review. Courts should give weight to reasoned government opinions based on Committee recommendations but may reject them for weighty reasons like mala fides or manifest arbitrariness. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
