The Allahabad High Court strongly condemned threats or obstruction against those seeking legal remedies, declaring such acts as the gravest form of criminal contempt and a major roadblock to justice that cannot be tolerated in any circumstance.
The Supreme Court has emphasized that anticipatory bail should be granted sparingly in economic offences, given their serious impact on the financial system and public trust. The observation came while the Court set aside anticipatory bail granted to several accused in the Adarsh Group of Companies scam. It noted that economic offences require thorough investigation and custodial interrogation, which can be hampered by pre-arrest bail.
