Anil Harikisan Navandar vs The State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court addressed the denial of anticipatory bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C., holding that the High Court's detailed examination of facts was justified due to a Section 482 Cr.P.C. petition. The Court disposed of the appeals, directing that upon the Investigating Officer's submission of a final report under Section 173(2) Cr.P.C., the appellants must surrender to the Trial Court, which shall consider their bail applications without delay. The Court emphasized that the Trial Court should conduct the trial without being influenced by the High Court's prior observations.
