Judgment
custody of the court. They could not be taken in custody ordinarily unless their bail was cancelled. The High Court was not correct in holding that as further investigation was required, sub-section (2) of Section 167 of the Code gives ample power for grant of police remand. The G distinction between the power of remand in terms of sub section (2) of Section 167 and sub-section (2) of Section 309 of the Code is apparent.
