Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Allahabad High Court's order granting bail to the respondent under Section 302/34/120B IPC, emphasizing that the High Court failed to consider the respondent's criminal antecedents and the severity of the crime, which involved the fatal shooting of Aftaab Alam. The Court held that the order of bail was not justified given the circumstances and the nature of the charges against the respondent. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the bail granted by the High Court was revoked.
