Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court modified the Patna High Court's order dated 08/08/2008, which had denied bail to the appellant, allowing him to apply for bail at any time after serving ten months in custody. The Court noted that other individuals facing similar allegations had been granted bail, thereby establishing a principle of parity in bail considerations. The appeal was disposed of with this modification, emphasizing the importance of equal treatment under similar circumstances.
