In Brief
Pravat Kumar Dash filed a Special Leave Petition challenging a High Court order that declined bail in a case involving the Central Bureau of Investigation. The Supreme Court, hearing the petitioner's counsel, decided to admit the petition for full hearing. The Court issued notice to the respondent (CBI) to be returned within six weeks, and permitted service of notice both through ordinary means and by dasti (personal delivery). This was a procedural order allowing the petition to proceed to the merits stage.
