Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal against the High Court's orders that had granted bail to the accused in a murder case. The appellant, mother of the deceased, contended that she was an eyewitness to the murder and challenged the bail on the grounds of the seriousness of the charges under IPC Section 302. The Court emphasized the need for careful consideration of the facts surrounding the case before allowing bail in serious offenses such as murder.
