NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday stayed the Karnataka High Court proceedings against the state Anti-Corruption Bureau wherein the High Court sought service records and other reports of officers.
A bench, headed by Chief Justice of India N V Ramana, said that the proceedings before the Karnataka High Court are not linked to the accused and stayed and directed the High Court to consider the bail application of the accused persons without reference to these matters.
The court remarked that the High Court judge concerned, rather than considering the bail application, focused on other things which may not be relevant.
The Supreme Court was hearing Karnataka ACB plea challenging certain adverse observations passed by a single-judge bench of the Karnataka High Court while hearing a bail petition.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Karnataka has challenged the July 7 order of the Karnataka High Court, wherein a single-judge bench had given reasons for his oral observations made against the ACB and the Additional Director General of Police (ADGP). The High Court had directed to produce the service record of the officer. (ANI)
