Hemant Rai vs Allauddin & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the bail granted to respondent No.1 Allauddin, despite his conviction under Sections 147, 148, 302/149 IPC and Sections 25/27 of the Arms Act, was unwarranted given the gravity of the crime and the circumstances surrounding the case. The Court emphasized that the nature of the offense and the facts presented did not justify the release on bail while the appeal was pending. Consequently, the Court canceled the bail and directed the immediate custody of the respondent, while also urging the High Court to expedite the appeal process.
