Supreme Court Reserves Judgment On Pleas Challenging HC Order To Register FIR On Witness Statements Before Justice Hema Committee

The Supreme Court held that even if a notice was issued on a limited issue, it retains the authority to address other points of law later. This ruling came in a case where the court was dealing with a petition that raised multiple points of law, but the initial notice only concerned one aspect. The Court clarified that while the notice may have focused on a specific legal question, it was within its rights to examine and adjudicate other related issues at a later stage. This judgment underscored the flexibility and comprehensive powers of the judiciary to address matters fully, ensuring that legal proceedings are not constrained by narrow interpretations of issues raised in notices. It emphasized the broad scope of judicial review.
