Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the cancellation of bail for policemen accused of contract killing under Sections 302/34, 120-B, and 364/34 IPC. The Court emphasized the gravity of the allegations, noting that the accused were implicated in a conspiracy to murder the victim, Ramnaryan Gupta, under the guise of a police encounter. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to cancel bail, reinforcing the principle that serious charges warrant stringent measures to ensure justice and public safety.
