Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the denial of pre-arrest bail to the appellant in a case involving serious charges under the IPC, including murder. The court noted that the appellant was not named in the FIR or in the charge sheets filed by the CBI, raising questions about the basis for the denial of bail. Ultimately, the court granted interim relief and directed the CBI to produce witness statements, emphasizing the need for a fair assessment of the evidence before denying bail.
