Supreme Court Criticizes Lengthy Delhi High Court Bail Orders

The Supreme Court expressed concerns over the Delhi High Court's lengthy anticipatory bail orders, stating they could influence trial court convictions. The case involved Aadhar Khera's appeal against a high court decision denying him bail in a cheating case. Khera's defense highlighted his cooperation with the investigation.

The Supreme Court on Friday voiced its concerns about the Delhi High Court issuing lengthy anticipatory bail orders, labeling the practice as 'something disgusting'.

Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh criticized the high court's approach, indicating that such detailed orders in bail pleas might mislead trial courts, potentially leading them towards convictions.

The criticism arose during the hearing of an appeal by medical practitioner Aadhar Khera, whose anticipatory bail was denied in a cheating case, despite his active cooperation in the investigation.
