Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the High Court's order granting bail to Resham Chand Kaler under Sections 302, 307, 324, 148 & 149 IPC and Sections 25, 27, 54 & 59 of the Arms Act, 1959. The Court noted that the High Court had allowed bail on the grounds of prolonged trial duration and lack of direct injury attribution to the petitioner, emphasizing that serious allegations were made against him. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision, allowing the bail while imposing conditions under Section 437(3) CrPC.
