The order passed by High court is far in excess of the jurisdiction of bail para
meters as repeatedly held by the Supreme Court
The approach of the court is clearly flawed because it seeks to go into questions which are not argued by the petitioners , did not fall for consideration.
The high court acted beyond its jurisdiction in making observations about the material , it’s relevance , it’s evidence -worthiness , and the gaps in investigation, when it is an ongoing investigation and the TDP party officials stonewalled the investigation taking advantage of the hearing of the bail application. They did not furnish the information as sought by cid
It is really alarming that high court stepped into the trial courts powers in pronouncing on the merits of the matter , while professing not to go into the merits of the case.
It is a gross overstepping of the jurisdiction at the bail stage.
The petitioners did not argue their turn when the bail petition was taken up for arguments. The CID made such objection to the court and is recorded.
The high courts approach towards a bail petition is unprecedented and has the trappings of a full fledged trial on the merits of the allegations in an ongoing investigation.
