Badal Pathak vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal challenging the High Court's order imposing onerous bail conditions on the appellant, a student, requiring heavy sureties of Rs. 5,00,000 each. The Court noted that a co-accused was granted bail with significantly lower surety amounts, highlighting inconsistency in the bail conditions. Consequently, the Court directed that the appellant be admitted to bail upon furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 15,000 with two sureties of the same amount, thus ensuring fair treatment under Article 21 of the Constitution.
