[LIVE-UPDATES] CBI Withdraws Appeal In Supreme Court Against House Arrest Of TMC Leaders In Narada Case

Justice Saran: We have to see if bail can be granted or not. With regard to other issues, other remedies are there. In a bail matter, how far can a person go ? Liberty of a person is the first thing to be seen. Conduct of others is to be seen in relevant proceedings.

SG: If you are treating this as a ground for bail dehors the atmosphere, then you are right. If the HC considers it at the same level, I have no difficulty. But, when there are 3000 people and there is a siege, these grounds are vitiated.

Justice Gavai: We would not like to mix liberty of a citizen with illegal acts of a politician.

Bench: There are two strands - one against whom chargesheet is filed and one against whom it has not been filed. On this ground the CBI court has granted bail.

SG: We are reducing a very serious issue to bail being granted.

SG: The PP says he’s arguing through mobile because of crowd.

Bench: One question. When were lawyers, we used to argue after chargesheet were filed ?

SG: See para 11 of this page. Even the Judges are unable to take decisions. Please mark - “influence of the persons and how they were lobbied”. Everybody knew. This was a live telecast. What can CBI do ? Look at their influence and arrogance.

Bench: Come to 95. What is solved by your CBI ?

SG: Not my CBI, this Country’s CBI.

Luthra: It is truly their CBI.

Bench: No comments in between.

SG: I have avoided taking names. I could have been sarcastic and caustic.

SG: This is a very serious matter. The bail was vacated without any change of circumstances. Would you not like to examine this ? We don’t press beyond a point in all matters ? This is very very serious.

SG: You May transfer the matter.

Bench: That will demoralise the HC if we transfer the matter.

SG: I am not saying don’t trust the Hc. I am saying transfer the matter outside the State. The State is not to be trusted.

Justice Gavai: We read from LiveLaw and Bar and Bench that it was your request to be heard by this SC. HCs are also constitutional courts. There’s no difference except hierarchy of appeal.
