Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision affirming the Special Court's order rejecting bail applications under Section 12 of the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act, 1999. The Court clarified that the Special Court has the authority to grant only one extension of up to 90 days for completing investigations, and subsequent applications for extension are not permissible. The Court held that the interpretation of Section 21(2)(b) of the Act by the Special Court was correct, leading to the dismissal of the appeals.
