Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order rejecting anticipatory bail under Sections 498A, 494, 406, 420, and 120B IPC, holding that the High Court failed to consider the withdrawal of a petition filed under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act by Karamveer Kaur against the appellant. The Court found no criminal antecedents against the appellant and determined that the rejection of bail was unjustified. The Court granted anticipatory bail to the appellant with conditions.
