Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the bail orders granted by the Allahabad High Court under Section 439 of the CrPC, emphasizing that bail should not be granted in serious offenses like murder when there is substantial evidence against the accused. The Court held that the involvement of the accused in a conspiracy to commit murder, as established through witness testimonies and circumstantial evidence, warranted the cancellation of bail. Consequently, the appeals by the State of U.P. were allowed, and the bail orders were set aside, ensuring the accused remain in custody pending trial.
