ATUL TRIPATHI vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court addressed the procedural requirements under Section 389 IPC regarding bail for convicts sentenced to life imprisonment or death. The Court held that the appellate court must provide the public prosecutor an opportunity to oppose bail in such cases, emphasizing compliance with statutory provisions. The appeals were allowed, and the High Court's bail order was set aside due to non-compliance with the procedural safeguards outlined in the IPC.
