Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the refusal of bail solely based on identification during an identification parade is insufficient, especially when the trial has not commenced and the appellant has been in custody since April 20, 2007. The Court directed the trial court to expedite the trial proceedings and granted bail to the appellant, emphasizing the need for a fair and timely trial. The appeal was disposed of with the order for bail.
