Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution and Section 482 CrPC, where the appellant sought a writ of Habeas Corpus, quashing of an FIR under Sections 306 and 34 IPC, and the arrest memo. The Court held that the High Court's refusal to grant bail was justified as the appellant was in judicial custody and could seek bail under Section 439 CrPC. The Court emphasized the importance of human liberty and the role of courts in safeguarding it, ultimately upholding the High Court's decision.
