Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Allahabad High Court's order granting bail to the respondent convicted under Section 302 and Section 506 IPC for murder. The Court emphasized that the High Court's decision lacked sufficient reasoning given the credible eyewitness accounts and the trial court's findings on the nature of injuries inflicted. The Supreme Court held that the bail order was unsustainable and reinstated the conviction, underscoring the importance of maintaining custody post-conviction during the appeal process.
