Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's refusal to grant bail under Section 21(4) of The Andhra Pradesh Control of Organized Crime Act, 2001 was erroneous, as the material against the appellant did not establish reasonable grounds for believing she was guilty of the offence. The Court emphasized that confessional statements made to police officers not authorized under Section 18(1) of the Act are inadmissible, and the evidence presented did not sufficiently indicate the appellant's involvement in organized crime. Consequently, the Court granted bail to the appellant, overturning the High Court's decision.
