Jadunath Singh vs Arvind Kumar

The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's decision to grant bail to the Applicants, Arvind Kumar, Chandra Kumar @ Chandu, and Rishi Kumar, who were convicted under Sections 147, 148, 302/149, and 120B of the IPC and sentenced to life imprisonment. The Court noted that the Applicants had been in jail for over ten years and that two co-accused had previously been granted bail, establishing a precedent for similar relief. The Court emphasized the need for a fair trial and the right to liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution, leading to the conclusion that the bail order was justified during the pendency of their appeals.
