Case History
Case Summary: SLP(Crl) No. 868-870/2004 Tamil Nadu challenged High Court amendments to the Prevention of Terrorism Act, 2002 that granted binding powers to a Review Committee over Central Government, State Governments, and investigating officers. The Supreme Court dismissed the petitions, upholding the High Court's decision that these amendments were constitutionally sound, based on prior Supreme Court recommendations, and provide necessary safeguards against misuse. The Court noted Review Committee directions remain subject to Section 321 of the Criminal Procedure Code. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
