Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by the Central Bureau of Investigation against the High Court's order granting statutory bail to Vikas Mishra under Section 167(2) of the Cr.P.C. The Court examined the circumstances surrounding the respondent's detention and the implications of the statutory provisions on bail. Ultimately, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the respondent's right to bail due to the failure of the prosecution to complete the investigation within the stipulated time frame.
