2011 (6) TMI 1046 - SCH - Indian Laws

Summary

The Supreme Court of India, in the case cited as 2011 (6) TMI 1046 - SC Order, presided over by Hon'ble Mr. Justice G.S. Singhvi and Hon'ble Dr. Justice B.S. Chauhan, reviewed petitions challenging an order by the Delhi High Court. The High Court had denied bail to the petitioners under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Supreme Court, after hearing arguments from both parties, upheld the High Court's decision, finding no "legal infirmity" in the reasons for denying bail. Consequently, the special leave petitions were dismissed. However, the Court granted the petitioners the liberty to file new applications for bail under Section 439 after the charges are framed. Petitioner No. 2 was also allowed to invoke Section 437 in her application. The Supreme Court directed that any new applications should be considered by the Special Court independently of the previous rejections.
