‘Flagrant violation of Section 21(2)(b) of MCOCA’; Bombay HC grants bail to accused after extension to file charge-sheet granted five times in ‘routine manner’
The Special Judge had deprived the accused from their indefensible right to default bail as the orders granting extension to file the charge-sheet were passed in routine manner, without considering the provisions of Section 21(2)(b) of MCOCA in its true perspective and without enforcing the statutory duty of ‘application of mind’ by the Public Prosecutor.
