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 bail decisions and noted that the appellants had already spent over three months in custody. The Court granted bail with specific conditions, including weekly police reporting and cooperation with the Trial Court, while urging the Trial Court to expedite the trial within six months.
