MUKESH vs STATE OF HARYANA — SLP(Crl) No. 3957/2025

The Supreme Court heard Bunty's Special Leave Petition challenging a Punjab & Haryana High Court judgment from December 2022. The Court condoned the delay in filing the petition (since petitioner is jail-confined) and issued notice returnable December 2, 2024, directing requisition of trial court records and English translation of relevant documents. The Court also directed that paragraphs 16-18 of the impugned judgment shall not be relied upon in other cases regarding Section 27 of the Indian Evidence Act, as those paragraphs allegedly misinterpreted and misapplied the statute.
