Won't refusal by ED to supply documents violate liberty of accused at bail stage? Supreme Court asks

The Supreme Court has questioned the Enforcement Directorate (ED) over its refusal to provide certain documents to an accused at the bail stage, raising concerns about the violation of the accused's rights. The court pointed out that withholding crucial documents could impede the defense's ability to argue for bail effectively. The case underscores the balance that must be maintained between the powers of investigative agencies and the rights of the accused, particularly in cases involving allegations of money laundering. The court’s observations reflect its commitment to safeguarding individual liberties while allowing law enforcement to carry out its duties.
