LATHA vs SACHIN — SLP(Crl) No. 3959/2022

Summary: The Supreme Court heard Latha's Special Leave Petition challenging the Karnataka High Court's 2018 judgment in a habeas corpus matter. The Court condoned the 412-day delay in filing and declined to interfere with the High Court's decision, but clarified that the High Court's finding of court process misuse would not bar the petitioner from pursuing independent legal remedies, and deleted the Rs. 50,000 costs imposed on the petitioner. The petition was disposed of accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
