Being aggrieved by the order, the case was filed before the Hon’ble Supreme Court.
HELD
The Hon’ble Supreme Court held that further detention of the appellant was not warranted. The impugned order was thus quashed, and the accused appellant was ordered to be released on bail subject to any conditions imposed by trial court.
