Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted anticipatory bail to the appellant, Nisha, in a case involving serious charges under the Indian Penal Code and the Dowry Prohibition Act. The High Court's rejection of her bail application was challenged, and the Supreme Court found merit in the appeal, emphasizing the need to prevent coercive action until the case is fully adjudicated. The court noted that the investigation was complete and a charge-sheet had been filed, but the circumstances warranted interim relief.
