In Brief
The Central Bureau of Investigation sought to file sealed documents from its case diary in special leave petitions arising from High Court enforcement of Article 21 rights without disclosing them to the respondent Karti P Chidambaram. The Court stayed decision on whether such sealed filings were permissible or could be relied upon to validate a look-out circular. The matter was deferred to 1st November 2017 for substantive hearing, requiring written submissions from both parties on this procedural question affecting the respondent's right to information and natural justice.
