Held, Right to public trial recognised under Section 327 of the Code. Not to be inferred that there cannot be any exception to the universal rule. In a case of extraordinary nature, the universal rule of open trial may not be adhered to. In the present case, Appellant involved in more than 40 criminal cases. Serious danger existed in producing the Appellant in open Court. No prejudice caused to the Appellant as all his 38 counsel, public and press people permitted to remain present during the Court proceedings. No presumption that a trial in prison not an open trial. Jail an open Court as long as no restrictions of free and fair trial compromised with. Appeal dismissed.
