Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that in light of the completed investigation and existing security of Rs. 2 Crores provided by co-accused, the condition of bail for the appellant should be relaxed. The Court substituted the original bail condition with a requirement for solvent property security of Rs. 15 Lakhs, to be provided within one month. This decision emphasizes the Court's discretion in modifying bail conditions based on the specific circumstances of the case.
