Summary of Crl.A. No. 001382/2003 (Ranjit Kumar v. State of Bihar) The Supreme Court granted special leave and allowed Ranjit Kumar's appeal on November 14, 2003. The appellant had been in continuous custody since August 5, 1999 for an incident occurring on May 18, 1999, with charges still not framed. Considering that the juvenile status question was pending in a separate appeal and given the prolonged detention without charge, the Court set aside the High Court's judgment and directed the appellant's release on bail upon furnishing a bail bond to the Trial Judge's satisfaction.
