In Brief
Asian Resurfacing of Road Agency P. Ltd. challenged the framing of charges in a criminal trial. The Supreme Court, relying on a three-Judge Bench judgment of 28 March 2018, found no grounds to interfere with the charge order. The appeals were disposed, with the trial court directed to proceed. The judgment also issued administrative directions to all High Courts requiring that trial court records be managed through certified copies rather than originals during appellate proceedings, to prevent delays in trial court proceedings and ensure efficient court administration."
