Section 59A M.P. Excise Act | Anticipatory Bail Permitted Despite Statutory Bar Due to Procedural Irregularities in Raid : MP HC Jabalpur

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that even when Section 59A of the M.P. Excise Act bars anticipatory bail, courts may grant it if the raid procedures are so irregular that they raise a credible risk of false implication. This sets a critical precedent for safeguarding liberty against mechanically enforced statutory bars when state action lacks procedural integrity.
