Special Reason
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Special reason, means yet another consequence would be that if any public servant succeeds in protracting the criminal proceedings to the stage of superannuation he can also claim the benefit of special reasons, if the High Court's reasoning is to be accepted. We find the High Court's approach not only erroneous but pernicious, and therefore, impermissible in law. Such a ground cannot by any stretch of imagination be treated as 'special reason', Jagjeevan Prasad v. State of Madhya Pradesh, (2000) 8 SCC 22: 2000 SCC (Cri) 1450.
