In this case, accused was charged under special Act (MCOCA) and IPC. Upon failure to obtain bail as per law, accused challenged the Vires of the sections of the special Act under which he was charged and sought quashment of the proceedings before High Court under Art. 226 of the Constitution. By impugned order by way of interim relief, respondent was released on bail by High Court, without at all considering seriousness of offences alleged against respondent, and other settled parameters for grant of bail in such cases. High Court did not at all even consider allegations with respect to offences under IPC. Such order, held, wholly impermissible. Hence, impugned order was quashed and respondent directed to surrender forthwith to face trial.
