Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Bombay High Court's interim order granting bail to the respondent, Pankaj Jagshi Gangar, in a case involving serious charges under the IPC related to organized crime. The Court emphasized the issue of forum shopping by the accused and highlighted the gravity of the allegations, which included extortion and involvement with organized crime syndicates. The Court ruled that the High Court's decision was not justified given the circumstances of the case and the nature of the offenses.
