Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the bail order granted by the Allahabad High Court to Kamal Singh, who faced charges under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 307, 302, 504, and 120B of the IPC. The Court found that the High Court's reliance on the ballistic report, which indicated that the pellets found in the deceased could not have been fired from the accused's licensed rifle, was erroneous. The Court held that the High Court failed to consider critical evidence presented by the prosecution, leading to the conclusion that the bail order was unsustainable and thus set aside the High Court's decision.
