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 suspected of possessing stolen property. The Court emphasized that the Sessions Judge was justified in denying bail due to the lack of a proper explanation from the accused. Furthermore, the adverse remarks made against the Sessions Judge were deemed unjustified, leading to the setting aside of the High Court's order, thereby allowing the appeal.
