Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Madras High Court's order recalling anticipatory bail without affording an opportunity of hearing to the appellants was improper and thus set aside the impugned order. The Court emphasized the necessity of a fair hearing as mandated by principles of natural justice. The matter was remitted back to the High Court for reconsideration of the bail application on its merits after providing an opportunity for hearing.
