The State Of Maharashtra vs Tasneem Rizwan Siddiquee

The Supreme Court held that a writ of habeas corpus cannot be issued for a person in police custody under a valid remand order, as per established legal principles. The Court emphasized that the High Court's intervention was unwarranted and that scathing remarks against police officials should be expunged. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's decision to issue the writ, thereby affirming the legality of the police custody in connection with FIR No.I-31/2018 under Section 420 IPC and various sections of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
