Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Allahabad High Court's order granting bail to the respondent, stating that the High Court should not have granted bail in the circumstances of the case. The Court emphasized the need for a thorough examination of the facts before granting bail. However, it allowed the respondent to apply for bail again after a period of two years, thereby establishing a precedent for future bail applications in similar circumstances.
