Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the bail applications of Lingaram Kodopi and Soni Sori, who were charged under Sections 121, 124(1), and 120B of the Indian Penal Code, as well as Section 8 of the Chhattisgarh Jansuraksha Adhiniyam and Sections 10 & 13 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The Court held that the serious nature of the allegations, including the involvement in financing Naxalite activities, justified the denial of bail. The High Court's decision to reject their bail applications was upheld, emphasizing the gravity of the charges against the appellants.
