CENTRAL BUREAU INVESTIGATION, NEW DELHI vs DR MAHIPAL SINGH — Crl.A. No. 683 - 685/2014

Case Summary: Mahipal Singh v. CBI Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed Dr. Mahipal Singh's appeal and dismissed the CBI's appeals. The Court held that Singh cannot be prosecuted under Section 3 of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) because a key ingredient of the offense—submission of multiple charge-sheets and court cognizance within ten years—had not been satisfied when the crimes were committed or discovered. The Court ruled that MCOCA's requirements must exist on the date of offense commission, not retroactively when approval was later granted.
