Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding the grant of bail under Article 134A and Article 134(1)(c) of the Constitution, determining that an order for bail is not a final order or judgment in a criminal proceeding. The Court held that it could treat the appeal as one under Article 136 if it finds that the High Court did not properly exercise its discretion. The case involved serious charges under multiple sections including Sections 302 IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Prevention of Terrorism Act, following a tragic incident resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.
