Delhi High Court Justice Vikas Mahajan's bench issued an order passed on September 1. The order observed that the allegations against the petitioner- Anil Kumar Sharma may be serious, but they do not warrant the application of the exception provided in the first proviso to Section 436A of CrPC for its continuance. The petitioner is not to be detained for more than half of the maximum period of imprisonment specified for Section 420 IPC, as it is not the case of the prosecution that the petitioner is in any way responsible for the delay in the trial.
