Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision to grant bail to the accused, stating that the bail was granted in a mechanical manner without adequate reasoning. The Court emphasized the need for a thorough consideration of the gravity of the offences and the criminal history of the accused, who had multiple pending cases. Consequently, the Supreme Court exercised its jurisdiction under Article 136 to set aside the bail order.
