Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Allahabad High Court's order granting bail to the accused under Sections 302 and 120B IPC. The Court emphasized that the High Court's conclusions regarding the unreliability of incriminating evidence were inappropriate for a bail application, as they resembled a judgment of acquittal. The Court held that the High Court's order was flawed and reinstated the denial of bail, underscoring the seriousness of the charges and the evidence linking the accused to the crime.
