The Bhopal court refused to grant default bail to accused Samarth Singh, noting that the CBI filed the charge sheet within the statutory 90‑day window.
The District Court in Bhopal rejected the petition for default bail filed by Samarth Singh, who is charged in the death case of 19‑year‑old Tvesha Sharma. The bench observed that the Central Bureau of Investigation had complied with the procedural requirement of submitting a charge sheet within ninety days of the arrest, and the filing had already been acted upon.
According to court records, the CBI lodged the charge sheet on time, thereby removing the basis for a default bail request under Indian criminal procedure. The magistrate emphasized that the investigation had been duly recorded and the case was proceeding on its merits.
The decision underscores the judiciary's insistence on procedural compliance by investigative agencies before granting relief to accused persons. Samarth Singh remains in custody pending further hearings on the substantive evidence against him.
