In SC, Justices M.M. Sundresh and Aravind Kumar dismissed a Special Leave Petition.

In the Supreme Court judgment, Justices M.M. Sundresh and Aravind Kumar addressed a Special Leave Petition. The Court noted that the impugned judgment relied on the precedent set in "Nikesh Tarachand Shah v. Union of India - (2018) 11 SCC 1." However, they referenced the more recent legal principles established in "Vijay Madandal Chaudhary & Ors. v. Union of India - 2022 SCC OnLine (SC) 929." Despite finding the impugned judgment unsustainable in law, the Court chose not to interfere with the High Court's conclusion due to the elapsed time and the fact that a complaint had already been filed. Consequently, the Special Leave Petition was dismissed, and any pending applications were disposed of.
