Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order allowing police remand and canceling bail was contrary to Section 167(1) Cr.P.C., which mandates that only officers of a certain rank can apply for police remand. The Court emphasized that once a disclosure statement was made, further custodial interrogation was unnecessary unless there was evidence of bail misuse or interference with the investigation. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was quashed, reinstating the bail granted to the appellants.
