Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order dated 05.02.2018, which dismissed the appellant's anticipatory bail application under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, for lack of reasoning. The Court emphasized that the High Court failed to provide adequate justification for its decision, similar to a previous order dated 14.12.2017. The appeal was allowed, and the case was remanded to the High Court for a fresh decision on the bail application, requiring consideration of the Supreme Court's earlier order.
