Case: Dilipkumar Vs. The State Of Maharashtra

3. The appellant had approached the High Court for anticipatory bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C. While considering the application, the High Court went into various other aspects and also came to the conclusion that the appellant should be made liable for the costs awarded by this Court in Civil Appeal No.2374/2010.

Reasoning: 5. We are afraid, the High Court has gravely gone wrong in passing an order for recovery of the said amount. It was not an issue arising in the case. That apart, it was not for the High Court to collaterally consider and decide who should be made liable for the costs awarded by this Court in a different case.
