Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted bail to the appellant under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, overturning the High Court's rejection of the bail application. The Court noted that the appellant had been in custody for over six months, had no criminal antecedents, and that the case against him was similar to that of co-accused who were granted bail. The Court imposed specific conditions for bail, including residing in Patna and appearing before the trial court as required.
