Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted leave and held that despite prima facie evidence of forgery related to the appellant's 10+2 examinations, the cancellation of pre-arrest bail was unwarranted due to the significant delay between the alleged offense in 1990 and the FIR filed in 2006. The Court ordered that the appellant be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties, while also requiring cooperation with the investigation. The previous High Court order was superseded accordingly.
