Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted bail to Ashim @ Asim Kumar Haranath Bhattacharya, overturning the decisions of the trial court and the High Court which had previously denied bail. The court found that the prosecution had not established a strong case against the appellant, and the continued detention was not justified. The judgment emphasized the importance of balancing individual liberty against the interests of justice in cases involving serious charges.
