↗️ *SUPREME COURT OF INDIA* LAKSHYA TAWAR Vs CENTRAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION SLP(Crl) No. 5480/2025 Date : 22-05-2025 *Granted bail in a special leave petition specifically on the ground that the Allahabad High Court, which was dealing with the bail application of the present petitioner, adjourned the matter 27 times. The Court observed that in matters of personal liberty, the High Courts are not expected to keep adjourning the matter. Consequently, the Court, while disposing of the matter, stated that the application for bail pending before the High Court is rendered infructuous.* *"In the matters of personal liberty, the High Courts are not expected to keep the matter pending for such a long time and do nothing, except for adjourning from time to time. The petitioner has been incarcerated for a period of more than four years. The complainant's evidence has also been recorded. In that view of the matter, and taking into consideration the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner."*
