Supreme Court: Default bail denied if chargesheet filed but not served to accused

The Supreme Court has issued a significant ruling on the conditions under which an accused can claim default bail. Justices Sanjay Karol and N K Singh clarified that default bail is not automatically granted if the chargesheet was filed within the statutory period but copies were not provided to the accused. The court held that the right to default bail arises strictly when the chargesheet itself is not filed within the prescribed 60 or 90 days. This ruling draws a clear legal distinction between the filing of a chargesheet and its physical delivery to the accused.
