Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the Allahabad High Court's order denying bail to the appellant, who was charged under Sections 120B, 417, 420, 468, 471 IPC and Sections 132 and 135 of the Customs Act. The Court noted that the appellant was similarly situated to co-accused who had been granted bail and directed that he be released on bail with conditions to ensure his presence at trial. The Court emphasized the need for expeditious trial in cases involving commercial crimes.
