Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal of S. Kasi challenging the Madras High Court's dismissal of his bail application after being in custody for over 73 days without a charge sheet. The court emphasized the importance of timely filing of charge sheets in ensuring the right to a fair trial and liberty. The appeal was allowed, and the court granted bail, underscoring that prolonged detention without charges is not permissible under the law.
