KANWAR SINGH MEENA vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court held that the Rajasthan High Court erred in granting bail to Khushi Ram Meena under Sections 147, 148, 149, 364, and 302 IPC, as it failed to consider vital evidence indicating a prima facie case against the accused. The Court emphasized the necessity for courts to apply established principles when exercising discretion in bail matters, particularly in serious offenses like murder. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's bail order, directing the accused to be taken into custody.
