Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted anticipatory bail to the appellant, Ravindra Saxena, after finding the High Court's repeated rejection of his bail applications to be erroneous. The Court noted that the allegations under Sections 420, 467, 468, and 120-B IPC were based on a civil dispute regarding property transactions, and that the complainant was using the criminal process to exert pressure on the appellant in ongoing civil litigation. The Court emphasized the need for a fair assessment of the circumstances surrounding the case, ultimately allowing the appellant's application for anticipatory bail.
