Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to deny interference with the trial court's bail order under Sections 323, 324, 326, 307, 504, 506(2) and 114 IPC, emphasizing that the trial court had considered the gravity of the offense and the circumstances of the accused, including their youth and lack of criminal antecedents. The Court reiterated that the complainant's challenge was limited to alleged breaches of bail conditions, thus relegating him to the Sessions Court for further proceedings. The bail was granted with conditions, reflecting the trial court's discretion in balancing the rights of the accused and the seriousness of the charges.
