RAJPAL vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition as withdrawn, while expressing concern over the recurrence of situations where bail applications are handled inconsistently despite previous orders. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to earlier directives to prevent conflicting decisions, especially in cases involving co-accused and parity claims. The Court clarified that entitlement to parity in bail is not automatic and depends on relevant facts and circumstances. The judgment underscores the need for consistent judicial approach in bail matters related to the same FIR.
