Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the learned single Judge of the High Court erred in stating that no offence was made out against the accused who was suspected of possessing stolen property, thereby justifying the Sessions Judge's decision to decline bail. The Court emphasized that the Sessions Judge acted within his judicial discretion and that the adverse remarks against him were unwarranted. Consequently, the order of the High Court was set aside, and the appeal was allowed, protecting the appellant's career.
