Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed multiple bail applications concerning the murder of Ranbir Singh, an MBA student, allegedly killed by police officials. The Court emphasized the gravity of the allegations, noting that 29 bullets were fired at the deceased, with 17 at close range, indicating a potential misuse of power by law enforcement. The Court ultimately held that the High Court's grant of bail to the accused was inappropriate given the serious nature of the charges, thereby setting aside the bail orders.
