Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order cancelling bail granted to the appellants, finding it to be harsh and drastic. The Court emphasized the principle of parity in granting bail, noting that the appellants had already been in custody for over three months. The Court granted bail under specific conditions, including weekly reporting to the police and cooperation with the Trial Court, while urging the Trial Court to expedite the trial process within six months.
