New Delhi: Supreme Court on Wednesday cancelled anticipatory bail granted by Bombay HC to 16 accused in the Rs 4,000 crore Adarsh Credit Cooperative Society scam in Maharashtra on the ground that they had deliberately dodged court summons and attempted to delay trial proceedings, reports Dhananjay Mahapatra .
Accepting arguments of advocate Padmesh Mishra , a bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and Prasanna B Varale said only law-abiding people can seek relief from courts and not those who evade summons. Directing accused to surrender in a week, Justice Trivedi said, "If an accused does not submit to authority of law, he must not be granted anticipatory bail, particularly when the court has found him prima facie involved in serious economic offences or heinous offences."
