#Andhra Pradesh Excise Act

Andhra Pradesh High Court halts disciplinary proceedings against a police constable where criminal trial involves identical charges and evidence, emphasizing prejudice to the employee's right to fair trial. The ruling mandates expedited disposal of the criminal case within one year, reinforcing Supreme Court precedents on parallel proceedings.

Supreme Court grants anticipatory bail to a businessman linked peripherally to a spurious liquor racket, emphasizing absence of direct evidence, no raid on his premises, and his cooperation. The ruling reinforces that custodial interrogation is unwarranted where the accused’s role is limited to supplying ancillary materials without active involvement in the crime.
