NARENDRA KUMAR AMIN vs CBI

The Supreme Court held that the appellant was entitled to Default Bail under Section 167(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, as the CBI failed to file a proper police report within the stipulated 90 days. The Court found that the High Court erred in its judgment by not recognizing the illegality of the appellant's continued detention after the expiry of the 90-day period. Consequently, the Court granted the appeal, allowing the appellant to be released on bail.
