Avinash Arora And Ors. vs State Of U.T. Chandigarh And Anr.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's requirement for the appellants to deposit Rs. 10 crores as a condition for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the CrPC was an improper exercise of discretion. The Court found that such a condition was unjust and not aligned with the principles governing anticipatory bail. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter for re-disposal in accordance with law.
