Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted interim bail to Menon Ekka, who had been convicted under the Prevention of Corruption Act and IPC, after considering her appeal against the High Court's refusal to grant bail. The court noted that the appellant had already served a significant portion of her sentence and that the appeal process was likely to be prolonged. The court emphasized the need for balancing the rights of the accused with the seriousness of the charges.
