Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's order granting bail to Ashish Mishra, accused of serious offenses including murder and conspiracy under the IPC and Arms Act. The court emphasized the gravity of the charges and the potential for tampering with evidence, asserting that the accused's release could undermine the integrity of the judicial process. Consequently, the bail was denied, reinforcing the principle that serious charges warrant stringent scrutiny in bail matters.
