Brief Facts : This was a bail application. The applicant was seeking anticipatory bail u/s. 438 who was booked during the Republic Day violence. He was seen brandishing a sword near the Red Fort’s parapet but he claimed he was practicing ‘martial arts’, and that every citizen had the right to celebrate how they wished to.
Summary : The court rejected this argument as prima facie unconvincing and stated that the liberty to do what one wishes was fettered by the law, and that the custodial interrogation was important to bring to light certain facts. Thus, the anticipatory bail was denied.
