Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the bail application of Balbir @ Bali under Sections 302, 307, 323, 325 IPC, and Section 25 of the Arms Act, challenging the High Court's bail grant. The Court emphasized that the role of the accused in instigating the fatal shooting of Vishnu, despite the absence of direct evidence linking him to the firearm used, warranted a reconsideration of bail. The Court held that the gravity of the charges and the potential for tampering with evidence justified the denial of bail, overturning the High Court's decision.
