Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Allahabad High Court's order granting bail to Moni alias Mohd. Ahmad, who was convicted under Sections 302, 34, and 120B IPC for the murder of Aftaab Alam. The Court emphasized that the High Court failed to consider the respondent's criminal antecedents and the serious nature of the charges against him, which included multiple pending cases. The Supreme Court held that the bail order was inappropriate given the circumstances and the gravity of the offense, thereby reinstating the conviction and denying bail.
