The Story in Brief
The Supreme Court on August 6 granted interim bail to a Chhattisgarh businessman in an alleged manpower commission scam and directed him to stay outside the state, LiveLaw reports. In a separate matter, the court stayed the arrest of Sumit Roy, an aide of Abhishek Banerjee, in the Salboni land-grab case. The court also ruled that judicial officers are not government servants and may have a different retirement age. The roundup does not provide further details of the orders or the allegations.
The Indian Opinion
The cases should not be reduced to claims that bail equals acquittal, or that a stay on arrest clears an accused. Both are interim protections, while the allegations still require adjudication. The retirement ruling concerns the legal status of judicial officers, not a general change in service rules for government employees. The useful test is whether full orders explain the conditions imposed and the reasoning behind each decision.
