Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court denied the bail application of the appellant, emphasizing that despite being in custody for over seven years and having medical issues, the serious charges against him warranted continued incarceration. The Court noted that previous bail applications had been rejected and that the delay in trial was partly due to the appellant's own actions. The Court held that the appellant's father's death did not automatically justify bail, and the trial could proceed without his presence, as per Sections 273 and 317 of the Cr.P.C.
