Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's bail order for the appellant, Jermani Yadav, which imposed an extraordinary condition that he would only be released after serving a period equivalent to that of a co-accused, Bipin Yadav. The Court found this condition unsustainable and directed the High Court to reconsider the bail application in accordance with the law. The judgment emphasizes that bail conditions must not be arbitrary and should adhere to legal principles governing bail under the Criminal Procedure Code.
