Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the Madhya Pradesh High Court's orders granting anticipatory bail under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC. The Court emphasized that anticipatory bail should not be granted in cases involving serious charges such as murder, especially when custodial interrogation is necessary. The Court ultimately set aside the High Court's orders, reinforcing the principle that the gravity of the offense and the necessity of investigation must be considered in bail applications.
