Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in granting bail to respondent No.2 under Section 304 Part II IPC, as the facts indicated a clear case of murder under Section 302 IPC. The Court emphasized that the nature of the crime, involving a premeditated act of violence with a licensed firearm, warranted serious consideration and denial of bail. The appeal was allowed, and the bail granted by the High Court was set aside, reinforcing the gravity of the offense and the need for a thorough trial.
