What the Court ordered

We are of the opinion that this was not a fit case for the High Court to have granted anticipatory bail to the accused by treating it as a mere real estate business in which there was a dispute as to the land price . The case went beyond that and deserved a far more serious consideration than that given by the learned Judge while extending relief to the accused.
