Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision to grant bail to the accused in a serious criminal case involving charges of conspiracy to commit murder and related offences. The court emphasized the gravity of the charges and the potential for tampering with evidence, concluding that the High Court had erred in its assessment. Consequently, the Supreme Court denied bail and reinstated the original detention of the accused.
