[NLR-2017-Criminal-SC-268]
The Supreme Court disagreed with the Single Judge of the High Court who granted pre-arrest bail to an accused under Section 498 of the CrPC. The Supreme Court overturned the order due to the incorrect reasoning and sent the case back to the High Court for a new decision on the bail application. The accused will stay on interim bail until the High Court confirms it.
