Enforcement agency overreach flagged as the Court scrutinises summoning of counsel and investigative procedures in sensitive prosecutions. The Supreme Court signalled scrutiny of Enforcement Directorate practices for summoning advocates during investigations and addressed multiple institutional oversight issues: refusal to urgently list an FIR plea against a judge, questioning investigative conduct in politically sensitive prosecutions, upholding a high court quashing of proceedings against a public figure's spouse, dismissal of a state challenge to a quashing order, protection from arrest in a cheating and breach-of-trust case, and procedural rulings on insolvency and liquidation review requests.
