Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Allahabad High Court's order granting bail to the accused under Section 304 IPC was improper as it failed to provide adequate reasoning for the decision. The Court emphasized that the charge sheet filed clearly indicated the commission of an offence under Section 304 IPC, and the High Court's assertion of a 'surreptitious' change in the nature of the offence was unfounded. The Court set aside the bail order, reinforcing the need for a thorough examination of the facts before granting bail in serious offences.
