In Brief
Rajitram Mourya's Special Leave Petition challenged the High Court's order declining to grant him anticipatory bail. The petitioner's counsel drew attention to an affidavit filed under the Criminal Procedure Code showing that regular payments had been made after April 2017. While the Supreme Court found no grounds to overturn the High Court's original decision, it granted the petitioner liberty to file a fresh anticipatory bail application before the High Court, incorporating all subsequent events. The High Court was directed to reconsider the fresh application according to law. The petition was disposed of accordingly.
