Shri Ram Murti Singh vs Brijesh Singh

The Supreme Court set aside the Allahabad High Court's order granting bail to the first respondent, who was accused under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302, 34 & 120B IPC and Section 7 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act. The Court found that the High Court failed to properly apply its mind to the severity of the charges and the potential for witness tampering. The appeal was allowed, and the trial court was directed to expedite the trial, preferably within four months, while allowing the accused to renew the bail application post-trial conclusion.
