New delhi, Nov 08: The Supreme Court set aside the anticipatory bail granted by the Karnataka High Court to IPS Officer Srinath Joshi Mahadev, a Superintendent of Police in the Lokayuktha Police, in a corruption case registered by his own establishment.
A Bench of Justices Sanjay Kumar and Sanjeev Sachdeva allowed the Karnataka Lokayuktha Police's appeal and directed the IPS officer to surrender within three weeks, holding that the High Court had wrongly closed the door on custodial interrogation when the material gathered by the prosecution warranted deeper examination.
