Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Allahabad High Court's order granting bail to the first respondent, who was convicted under Section 302 IPC for murder. The Court emphasized that no exceptional reasons were provided for suspending the sentence in a case involving a serious conviction. The Court held that the accused may seek to justify suspension of the sentence before the High Court, but the current order was not justified under the circumstances.
