Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's grant of bail to Vishnu Narain Shivpuri, charged under Sections 342, 326-B, and 506 IPC. The Court emphasized the seriousness of the allegations, particularly the use of sulphuric acid against the appellant, Pooja Bhatia, and noted the accused's threatening behavior post-bail. The Court held that the High Court's decision to grant bail was improper given the circumstances and ordered the cancellation of the bail granted to the respondent.
