    The Bombay High Court allowed the petition and declared the arrest and remand of Ms. Sheetal Tejwani illegal, ordering her release on PR bond. The court found that grounds of arrest were furnished only 1 hour 10 minutes before her court production, violating the Supreme Court's mandate in Mihir Rajesh Shah requiring grounds be provided at least 2 hours prior, and rejected the state's explanation that the petitioner refused service without her advocate present, as no contemporaneous record supported this claim. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
