The Supreme Court reiterated that criminal proceedings are not for realization of disputed dues.
A Criminal Court, exercising jurisdiction to grant bail/anticipatory bail, is not expected to act as a recovery agent to realise the dues of the complainant, and that too, without any trial, the bench comprising Justices Indira Banerjee and Krishna Murari observed.
In this case, the Jharkhand High Court had granted bail to an accused, subject inter-alia to the condition of deposit of bank guarantee of Rs.53,60,00
