Virender Kumar Yadav vs C.B.I

The Supreme Court granted bail to the appellant facing trial under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code and the Prevention of Corruption Act, noting that the appellant had been in custody since September 14, 2007, with no progress in the trial since the charge sheet was filed on April 19, 2007. The Court emphasized the need for timely trial proceedings and allowed bail on the condition of a personal bond of Rs. 50,000 with two sureties. The previous denial of bail by the High Court was set aside, highlighting the principle that prolonged detention without trial can warrant bail.
