Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted anticipatory bail to Dheeraj Bhadviya, setting aside the Rajasthan High Court's order that had denied bail. The court noted that the appellant had been enjoying interim relief from arrest for over three years, and thus, without delving into the merits of the case, allowed the appeal and directed that the appellant be released if arrested. This decision underscores the importance of the right to pre-arrest bail under Section 438 of the CrPC.
