Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the issuance of non-bailable warrants of arrest by the High Court was unjustified in the context of the cancellation of regular bail. The Court set aside the impugned order, allowing the appellant to appear before the High Court to contest the application. The appeal was allowed, and the Court emphasized that the High Court is free to pass orders based on the merits of the case.
