Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed two appeals concerning directions issued by a Single Judge of the Rajasthan High Court regarding the listing of bail applications and the arrest of individuals charged with minor offences. The court found that the High Court's restrictions on listing bail applications and arrest directives were not in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's orders, reaffirming the need for judicial processes to be followed without arbitrary restrictions.
