Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's grant of bail to the respondent, accused of conspiracy to murder Gulshan Kumar, was erroneous. The Court emphasized that the non-disclosure of the respondent's name in remand applications does not negate the prosecution's case against him. The Court found sufficient evidence, including the transfer of Rs. 25 lacs to contract killers, to justify the cancellation of bail to prevent miscarriage of justice, thereby setting aside the High Court's order.
