Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in ordering the recovery of Rs.10,00,000/- from the appellant, which was awarded as costs in a separate civil appeal (Civil Appeal No.2374/2010). The Court clarified that the issue of costs was not relevant to the anticipatory bail application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. and that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by addressing this matter. Consequently, the order for recovery was vacated, and the appeal was allowed.
