Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the condition imposed by the High Court on the anticipatory bail of the appellant, which prohibited the use of a specific document in a pending partition suit, was illegal and unsustainable. The Court emphasized that the determination of the genuineness of documents as evidence lies solely with the Civil Court, not with the bail order. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's condition, affirming the principle that the validity of evidence must be assessed by the appropriate civil forum.
