Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's observations regarding the appellants' conduct in filing a report under Section 169 Cr.P.C. were unjustified and amounted to an improper interference with the administration of justice. The Court clarified that filing such a report does not inherently constitute misconduct, especially when anticipatory bail petitions had been previously rejected. Consequently, the Court expunged the High Court's remarks and allowed the appeal.
