Cannot Grant Interim Protection To Accused While Rejecting Anticipatory Bail Plea : Supreme Court ‘Amazed’ At HC’s Self-Contradictory Order
The learned Single Judge of the High Court while rejecting an application for anticipatory bail, in the same breath granted them protection for a period of two months. He directed that no coercive steps be taken against the respondent(s) for a period of two months. {Para 9}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. It is, thus, clear that self-contradictory orders have been passed by the High Court. On the one hand, the application for anticipatory bail is rejected and, on the other hand, the interim protection is granted for a period of two months.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. OF 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH Vs MOHD. AFZAL & ORS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Coram: B.R. GAVAI; J., J.B. PARDIWALA; J.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dated: July 18, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Leave granted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Heard learned counsel appearing for the parties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. We are amazed to see the order passed by the learned Single Judge of the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. The respondents-herein (applicant(s) before the High Court) had filed an application for grant of anticipatory bail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. The application was vehemently opposed by the learned counsel for the State on the<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      ground that the respondents were hardened criminals having criminal history. He has also pointed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      out that against each of the respondents look out notices have also been issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Leaned Single Judge of the High Court, therefore, after hearing the parties, found that the<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        respondents were not entitled for grant of anticipatory bail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. The Court, therefore, rejected the application for grant of anticipatory bail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. However, after the application was rejected, a motion was made on behalf of the<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          respondent(s) that they would like to move an application for discharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. The learned Single Judge of the High Court while rejecting an application for anticipatory bail, in the same breath granted them protection for a period of two months. He directed that no coercive steps be taken against the respondent(s) for a period of two months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. It is, thus, clear that self-contradictory orders have been passed by the High Court. On the one hand, the application for anticipatory bail is rejected and, on the other hand, the interim protection is granted for a period of two months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. In that view of the matter, we are inclined to allow this appeal. The second part of the order<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            directing that no coercive steps shall be taken against the respondents for a period of two months<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            is quashed and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Pending application(s), if any, stand(s) disposed of.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
