STATE vs JASPAL SINGH GILL

The Supreme Court held that in cases involving non-bailable offences, particularly under the Official Secrets Act, 1923, the court must consider various factors before granting bail, including the seriousness of the offence and the potential for witness tampering. The Court found that the High Court's decision to grant bail was premature, as the allegations suggested a serious threat to national security. Consequently, the Court allowed the prosecution's petition to revoke the bail granted to the respondent, emphasizing the need for greater caution in such sensitive cases.
