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 found that the circumstances warranted the granting of bail, especially since a co-accused had already been granted bail. The appeal was allowed, and the impugned order was set aside, allowing bail upon furnishing a personal bond.
