DEVENDER KUMAR & ANR ETC. vs STATE OF HARYANA & ORS. ETC.

The Supreme Court held that the Punjab & Haryana High Court's order allowing police remand of Devender Kumar was contrary to Section 167(1) Cr.P.C., which mandates that only an officer of the rank of Sub-Inspector or above can apply for police remand. The Court emphasized that the cancellation of bail must adhere to established principles and that there was no necessity for custodial interrogation after a disclosure statement was made. Consequently, the Supreme Court quashed the High Court's order and reinstated the bail granted to the appellants.
