Sayed Mohd. Ahmed Kazmi vs State, Gnctd & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of remand orders under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, and the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, specifically examining the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's authority to remand an accused beyond 15 days. The Court held that the provisions of the National Investigation Agency Act, 2008, allow for such remands, affirming the High Court's orders that modified the remand duration. The Court also considered the application for statutory bail under Section 167(2) Cr.P.C., emphasizing the importance of timely judicial oversight in cases involving serious charges under anti-terrorism laws.
