P. Chidambaram vs Directorate Of Enforcement on 5 September, 2019
In R.K. Krishna Kumar v. State of Assam and others (1998) 1
SCC 474, the Supreme Court received court diary maintained under
Section 172 Cr.P.C. and perused the case diary to satisfy itself that the
investigation has revealed that the company thereon has funded the
organisation (ULFA) and that the appellants thereon had a role to play in it.
While considering the question of arrest of five well known human rights
activists, journalists, advocates and political workers, in Romila Thapar and
36
Others v. Union of India and Others (2018) 10 SCC 753, this Court perused
the registers containing relevant documents and the case diary produced
by the State of Maharashtra. However, the court avoided to dilate on the
factual position emerging therefrom on the ground that any observation
made thereon might cause prejudice to the accused or to the prosecution in
any manner.
