Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court set aside the Allahabad High Court's order granting bail to the accused under Section 302/34 IPC, emphasizing that the High Court failed to consider the serious nature of the allegations, including the brutal murder and the potential threat to the complainant's family. The Court reiterated that bail should not be granted in cases involving grave charges where the accused might tamper with evidence or threaten witnesses. The Court held that the High Court's decision was unjustified and reinstated the denial of bail by the Sessions Judge.
