NEERU YADAV vs STATE OF U P

The Supreme Court examined the legality of the Allahabad High Court's order granting bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, to the 2nd respondent accused of serious offences including Sections 302, 307, and 120B of the Indian Penal Code. The Court held that the High Court erred in granting bail based on parity with a co-accused without adequately considering the severity of the charges and the accused's criminal antecedents. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the bail order, emphasizing the need for a thorough evaluation of the circumstances surrounding the case.
