Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted anticipatory bail to Jarnail Singh, overturning the High Court's rejection of his application. The court noted that while the investigation was complete, the appellant's non-cooperation was not sufficient to deny bail, especially given the circumstances of the case. The court emphasized the need for a balanced approach in granting anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the CrPC.
