Central Bureau of Investigation vs Aryan Singh

Judicial Analysis

None of the cases explicitly indicate they have been overruled, reversed, or explicitly treated as bad law. The list primarily contains references to the same core case (Aryan Singh, 2023 SCC OnLine SC 379) and its treatment in various contexts, emphasizing that the High Court cannot conduct a mini-trial under Section 482 Cr.P.C. and related legal principles. There are no clear indications from the provided descriptions that any case has been explicitly overruled or invalidated by subsequent rulings. Therefore, no cases are definitively categorized as bad law based solely on the information provided.

1. **Cases affirming or following the principle that the High Court cannot conduct a mini-trial under Section 482 Cr.P.C. or similar jurisdictional limits:**

2. **Cases discussing the scope of investigation and the Court's jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C.:**

P. - 2024 0 Supreme(HP) 229, Inder Mohan Guleria VS State of Himachal Pradesh - 2024 0 Supreme(HP) 244, Prahlad Kumar alias Raj Kumar VS State of Himachal Pradesh - 2024 0 Supreme(HP) 246, Prem Lal VS State of Himachal Pradesh - 2024 0 Supreme(HP) 239, Bharat Fruit Products through its partner Bharat Bhushan VS State of Himachal Pradesh - 2024 0 Supreme(HP) 263, Managing Director M/s Devyani Food Industries Limited vs State of Himachal Pradesh through Labour Inspector - 2024 Supreme(Online)(HP) 1477, Suresh Kumar VS State of H. P. - 2024 0 Supreme(HP) 187, Biswajyoti Chatterjee VS State Of West Bengal - 2025 5 Supreme 257, Renuka VS State of Karnataka - 2025 0 Supreme(SC) 743, NDA Securities Ltd. VS State (NCT of Delhi) - 2025 0 Supreme(SC) 818, Soumallya Swapan Roy vs State Of Gujarat - 2025 0 Supreme(Guj) 1263, Varang Krishnakant Thaker vs State Of Gujarat - 2025 0 Supreme(Guj) 1225, Biraj Kumar Sarkar vs Ravi Kumar Potdar - 2025 0 Supreme(MP) 256, Anukul Singh VS State of Uttar Pradesh - 2025 7 Supreme 183, Muskan VS Ishaan Khan (Sataniya) - 2025 8 Supreme 525, SATISH CHANDER MAHAAJAN vs STATE OF KERALA - 2025 Supreme(Online)(Ker) 52888, SURAJ AGED 28 YEARS S/O SUDHEVAN vs STATE OF KERALA - 2025 Supreme(Online)(Ker) 51101, VIKAS MATHEW vs STATE OF KERALA - 2025 Supreme(Online)(Ker) 51121

These reinforce the principle that the Court's jurisdiction under Section 482 is limited to prevent interference with ongoing investigations and that it should not act as a fact-finding body or mini-trial court.

3. **Cases referencing or citing Aryan Singh (2023 SCC OnLine SC 379) or similar judgments:**

**Summary:** The predominant pattern is adherence to the principle that courts should not conduct mini-trials during investigation under Section 482 Cr.P.C., and that investigations should be allowed to proceed without judicial interference. There is no explicit indication of any case being overruled or treated as bad law within the provided data.

None of the cases explicitly state that they have been overruled, reversed, or criticized as bad law. The references to Aryan Singh (2023 SCC OnLine SC 379) are consistent and do not indicate a negative treatment or repudiation. However, the absence of explicit treatment does leave some uncertainty about whether any later decisions have questioned or limited the scope of the principles established in these cases, but such information is not present in the provided list.

Some entries (e.g., Yogesh Thakkar vs State of Gujarat - 2025 0 Supreme(Guj) 1547, Hemlataben Wd/o Vijaybhai Ganu vs State of Gujarat - 2025 0 Supreme(Guj) 1544) mention judgments being quashed or set aside, but without specific context, it is unclear whether this pertains to the same legal principles or different issues altogether.
