Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the bail application of Kunwar Singh under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 325, and 302 IPC, emphasizing the serious nature of the injuries inflicted on the deceased, Sanjay. The Court noted that the Additional Sessions Judge had denied bail based on the specific role attributed to Kunwar Singh in the FIR and his criminal history, including pending serious charges. The High Court's decision to grant bail was overturned, highlighting the potential for evidence tampering and the lack of clarity regarding the aggressor in the altercation, thus reinforcing the need for stringent bail conditions in serious offenses.
