Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision granting default bail to the respondents under Section 167(2)(a)(ii) of the CrPC. The court clarified that the computation of the 60-day period for default bail should include the date of remand, rejecting the Special Judge's interpretation that excluded the first remand date. Consequently, the court affirmed the High Court's ruling that the respondents were entitled to bail due to the lapse of the statutory period.
