ER. K.K. JERATH vs UNION TERRITORY, CHANDIGARH & ORS.

The Supreme Court addressed a petition under Section 438 of the Criminal Procedure Code for bail, which was dismissed by the High Court. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, stating that there is no prohibition against two separate investigations by different agencies under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, specifically Sections 13(1)(a)(b)(c)(d) and 13(2). The Court emphasized that the petitioner’s release on bail could impede the investigation, thus affirming the necessity of custodial interrogation in the public interest.
