Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order granting bail to Rajesh Ranjan @ Pappu Yadav, emphasizing that the High Court's decision was in contempt of its prior ruling which stated that no further bail applications would be entertained after multiple rejections. The Court held that the circumstances did not warrant bail, especially after conviction, and criticized the High Court for granting bail based solely on the anticipated delay in hearing the appeal. The Court directed that the respondent-accused be taken into custody immediately.
