Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted bail to the appellant facing trial under Sections 420, 419, 467, 408, 218, and 409 IPC, overturning the High Court's order that denied bail. The Court noted the appellant had been in custody for over one and a half years and highlighted the delay in trial proceedings, as directed by the High Court to conclude within three months but not yet completed. The Court held that the appellant should be granted regular bail until the trial is concluded, requiring a personal bond of Rs. 25,000 with two sureties.
