Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, while adjudicating writ petitions under Article 32 concerning alleged violations of Article 21, granted bail under Section 438 of the CrPC. The Court emphasized that the orders were specific to the peculiar facts of the case and would not serve as precedent. The Court directed the release of the petitioner upon surrendering his passport and allowed the investigating agency to seek cancellation of bail if misused. The Court also permitted the petitioner to approach High Courts for consolidating cases pending in different jurisdictions.
