Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the bail application under Section 439 Cr.P.C. concerning the Appellant, an elected Member of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly, accused in a case involving serious charges under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302 IPC, and Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act. The Court noted that the Appellant was not named in the earlier FIRs related to the incident and emphasized the lack of direct evidence linking him to the alleged conspiracy. The Court ultimately granted bail, highlighting the absence of substantial grounds for continued detention.
