Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of bail under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956, specifically Sections 5, 6, and 9, and related IPC sections. The Court held that the High Court erred in granting bail to the accused, emphasizing the seriousness of the charges and the potential for the accused to re-offend if released. The Court reinstated the Sessions Judge's decision to deny bail, underscoring the need for a thorough examination of evidence before granting such relief.
