'Better To Lose By Making Correct Statement Than To Lose Confidence Of Court': Orissa HC Denies Bail To Economic Offender For Misrepresenting SC Order

Live Law  

The Orissa High Court has denied bail to a person, accused of committing economic offences, for misleading the Court with regard to an order passed by the Supreme Court so as to obtain an adjournment and by playing such fraud, to extend the period of liberty. The top Court stayed the order of the High Court and exempted the petitioner from surrendering till the bail applications are considered and disposed of by the High Court. On 02.05.2023, when the present bail applications were listed for final adjudication, the order dated 06.01.2023 of the Apex Court was produced and submission was by the counsel for the petitioner that the Supreme Court has inadvertently mentioned that the stay order is extended till the bail applications are disposed by the High Court, whereas the stay was only till the SLPs are disposed of by the top Court. When the matter was taken up by the Supreme Court on 07.08.2023, Dr. Menaka Guruswamy, Senior Advocate informed the Court that due to incorrect instructions given by the counsel for the petitioner to the High Court on 02.05.2023, the bail applications could not be disposed of on the said date and the same was adjourned. Thus, it was vehemently argued that on account of misleading and false statement before the High Court, the disposal of the present three bail applications got delayed and the petitioner enjoyed liberty.
