Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals of two accused seeking bail in a murder case involving conspiracy under Section 120B IPC and murder under Section 302/34 IPC, along with violations of the Indian Arms Act. The Court noted that the prosecution's case relied heavily on the alleged confessions of co-accused, which were deemed inadmissible as substantive evidence under Section 10 of the Indian Evidence Act. The Court ultimately held that the lack of substantial evidence against the appellants warranted their release on bail, overturning the High Court's decision.
