DINESH DALMIA vs C.B.I

The Supreme Court interpreted Sub-section (2) of Section 167 and Sub-section (2) of Section 309 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, in the context of a criminal appeal involving the appellant Dinesh Dalmia, charged under Sections 409, 420, and 120B of the Indian Penal Code. The Court held that the procedural safeguards under these sections must be adhered to, particularly regarding the issuance of non-bailable warrants and the rights of the accused during the investigation phase. The appeal was allowed, setting aside the High Court's order that had previously overturned the Special Court's decision.
