Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by Meena Devi against the Allahabad High Court's order granting bail to the respondent. The Court emphasized the seriousness of the charges and the potential for tampering with evidence if bail were to be granted. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the bail order and directed that the respondent be taken into custody pending trial.
