Bhupinder Singh & Ors vs Jarnail Singh & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 167(2)(a)(ii) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, in relation to bail provisions under Section 304B IPC concerning dowry death. The Court held that the period for filing the challan is 90 days, as per the High Court's interpretation, and not 60 days as argued by the appellants. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's order cancelling the bail granted by the Sessions Judge, affirming that the bail was improperly granted based on a misinterpretation of the statutory provisions.
