Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal against the High Court's order granting bail to the accused Munna @ Munna Jaiswal, who is charged under Sections 302, 504, and 506 IPC. The Court noted the serious nature of the allegations, including a history of criminal activity and the involvement of multiple assailants in the murder of Jai Shankar. The Court held that the High Court's decision to grant bail was not justified given the circumstances, including the broad daylight nature of the murder and the potential threat to the complainant's family, thereby setting aside the bail order.
