Supreme Court Rules No Default Bail for Delayed Chargesheet Copies in India
The Supreme Court of India has clarified the legal parameters regarding the right to default bail. Justices Sanjay Karol and N K Singh ruled that an accused person cannot claim default bail solely on the grounds that they were not provided with copies of the chargesheet within the statutory timeframe. The court emphasized that the right to default bail is strictly tied to whether the investigating agency filed the chargesheet within the mandatory 60 or 90-day period. As long as the document is submitted to the court on time, the failure to deliver copies to the accused does not trigger an automatic release.
