Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's bail grant to Balbir @ Bali under Sections 302, 307, 323, and 325 IPC, emphasizing that the evidence presented in the FIR indicated Balbir's involvement in a violent incident leading to the death of Vishnu. The Court noted that the High Court had erred in relying on the absence of direct evidence of Balbir holding a firearm, as the overall circumstances and witness statements suggested his culpability. The Court reinstated the Additional Sessions Judge's decision to deny bail, highlighting the serious nature of the charges and the potential for tampering with evidence.
