Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the Special Court's order granting default bail to respondents under Section 167(2) Cr.P.C. The Court found that the CBI's chargesheet was incomplete and did not meet the statutory requirements of Section 173(2) Cr.P.C., thus entitling the respondents to bail. The ruling clarified the application of Section 17A of the PC Act, confirming the Special Court's jurisdiction in this matter.
