Narendra Kumar Amin vs Cbi & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the appellant's right to default bail under Section 167(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 was violated due to the failure of the CBI to file a proper police report within the stipulated 90 days. The Court emphasized that the period of custody must be calculated correctly, excluding the day of arrest, and that any further detention without a judicial order is illegal. The Court overturned the High Court's decision, granting the appellant bail and establishing that the right to liberty must be protected under the law.
