The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that even in a case where the High Court is prima facie of the opinion that an exceptional case is made out for grant of interim stay of further investigation in a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure or Article 226 of the Constitution, it has to give brief reasons why such an interim order is warranted and/or is required to be passed (M/s Neeharika Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd v. State of Maharashtra).
