SLP(Crl) No. 2430 - 2431/2001

Case Summary: SLP(Crl) No. 2430-2431/2001 On 27 July 2001, the Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petitions filed by complainant Shivaji Arvind Pawar challenging the High Court of Bombay's interim order staying criminal proceedings. The Court found no merit in the petitioner's four contentions, including the argument that *Usha Ahuja v. State of Haryana* precedent applied, and held that the High Court properly entertained the accused's Section 482 application. The Court noted that complaint proceedings should normally remain stayed while such applications are pending before the High Court, and declined to exercise Article 136 jurisdiction at that interlocutory stage.
