Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to grant bail to the accused was flawed as it relied solely on the principle of parity without a thorough examination of the facts and circumstances of the case. The Court emphasized that the sanctity of law must be upheld and that no accused should exploit legal processes to their advantage. The appeal was allowed, and the bail granted by the High Court was canceled, reinforcing the need for a comprehensive analysis in bail applications under Sections 302, 307, and 120B read with Section 34 IPC.
