Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Bombay High Court erred in granting bail to the accused facing charges under Sections 10, 13, 18, and 29 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, and Sections 3, 4 of the Arms Act, 1959, and Section 353 read with Sections 34 and 120B of the IPC. The Court emphasized the necessity for the High Court to provide reasons for granting bail, particularly in serious offences, and noted that the charge sheet lacked sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegations against the accused. The Supreme Court stayed the High Court's bail order, indicating that the accused should remain in custody pending trial.
