Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of the High Court's order denying default bail to accused persons charged under various sections of IPC, UAPA, and Explosive Substances Act. The Court emphasized the importance of timely bail and the procedural requirements under Section 167(2) of the CrPC. It held that the High Court's dismissal of the bail application without proper consideration of the statutory provisions was unjustified. The Court directed the release of the accused persons on default bail, reaffirming the constitutional right to liberty and speedy justice.
