Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Punjab and Haryana High Court's refusal to grant anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, in a case involving allegations of embezzlement under Sections 406, 420, and 120B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The Court held that the allegations were serious and not merely civil in nature, affirming the High Court's decision that the appellants did not merit protection under Section 438. The outcome was the dismissal of the appeals for anticipatory bail.
