Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition filed by Sunita Bhati, affirming the High Court's decision to reject her bail application. The Court noted that the petitioner’s husband is accused in a murder case and has 45 other pending cases of heinous crimes, which justified the denial of bail. The Court held that the gravity of the charges against the husband warranted the refusal of bail under the prevailing circumstances.
