MADAN MOHAN ASTHANA vs STATE OF JHARKHAND — Crl.A. No. 1189/2001

Summary The Supreme Court allowed Madan Mohan Asthana's appeal against the High Court of Jharkhand's order dated 27.02.2001, which had dismissed his application for refund of bail deposit. Since Asthana was acquitted in the criminal case after depositing Rs. 55,000/- as a bail condition, the Court held the High Court erred in refusing the refund. The Court set aside the High Court order and directed that the amount be refunded to the appellant forthwith, with no order as to costs.
