Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and granted bail to the appellant under Sections 120-B, 420, 467, 468, and 471 IPC, along with Section 13(2) and Section 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court noted that the investigation was complete, a charge sheet had been filed, and the appellant, aged 71 and ailing, had been in custody for six months without a prior criminal record. The Court set aside the High Court's order rejecting bail, directing the appellant's release on bail during trial.
