Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, affirming the Sessions Judge's refusal to grant bail under Section 167(2) of the Code. The Court clarified that since the charge sheet was filed within the statutory period of ninety days, the appellant was not entitled to bail on the grounds of non-filing. The judgment reinforces the principle that timely filing of the charge sheet negates the right to bail under Section 167(2).
