Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the bail granted to the accused in the Uphar Tragedy case, where the trial court convicted them under various sections of the IPC, including Section 304-A, Section 337, and Section 338, along with Section 14 of the Delhi Cinematograph Act, 1952. The Court held that the High Court erred in granting bail to Nirmal Singh Chopra and Ajit Chaudhary, who were convicted under Section 304 IPC, while expressing a different view for Sushil Ansal and Gopal Ansal, convicted under lesser charges. The Court emphasized the need to refrain from commenting on the merits of the case due to ongoing appeals in the High Court.
