Chaman Lal vs State Of U.P. & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's grant of bail to Meer Hasan under Sections 302 and 120B IPC was improper due to a lack of detailed reasoning and consideration of the prima facie case against him. The Court emphasized that while exhaustive examination of evidence is not required at the bail stage, there must be a clear application of mind to the facts presented. The Court set aside the bail order, reinforcing the principle that bail should not be granted in cases where it may obstruct the course of justice.
