Accused cannot claim default bail for non-filing of charge sheet copies: Supreme Court judgment

The Supreme Court ruled that an accused cannot claim default bail on the grounds of non-filing of charge sheet copies. The key point is that default bail can only be claimed if the charge sheet itself is not filed within the statutory time limits of 60 or 90 days. This judgment clarifies the legal interpretation of default bail, emphasizing the importance of timely charge sheet submissions in criminal proceedings, which is significant for legal examinations and understanding judicial processes.
