BHUPINDER SINGH vs JARNAIL SINGH

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 a challan is 90 days, as per the High Court's interpretation, and not 60 days as argued by the Sessions Judge. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's order cancelling the bail granted to the appellants, affirming that the challan was filed within the prescribed period.
