Sompal Singh vs Sunil Rathi & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the Allahabad High Court's grant of bail to Sunil Rathi under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302, 307, 404, 504, and 506 IPC was unjustified given the serious nature of the charges, including murder and attempted murder. The Court emphasized the need for a thorough consideration of the facts, including the accused's prior criminal record and the fact that co-accused had been denied bail. The Court set aside the High Court's order and denied bail, reinforcing the principle that bail should not be granted in cases involving grave offenses where the accused poses a flight risk or threat to witnesses.
