RAM SARAN PAL @ LALLU vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court granted bail to Ram Saran Pal alias Lallu, who was facing trial under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302, 404, and 341 of the Indian Penal Code, after he had been in custody for over six years without significant progress in the trial. The Court noted that the High Court had previously directed the trial to conclude within six months, which had not been adhered to. The Court held that continued incarceration without timely adjudication was not permissible and ordered his release on bail with conditions set by the trial judge.
