Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by the Central Bureau of Investigation against the Gujarat High Court's order granting bail to Amitbhai Anil Chandra Shah in the Sohrabuddin case, which involves serious allegations of extrajudicial killings. The Court emphasized the need for a fair trial and the potential influence of the accused due to his political position, thereby holding that the bail granted was inappropriate. The Court also considered the transfer petition to move the trial outside Gujarat to ensure impartiality in the proceedings.
