X vs State Of Rajasthan

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of bail in serious offences, specifically under Section 376D and Section 342 IPC, emphasizing that once a trial commences, bail should not be granted lightly. The Court criticized the practice of granting bail based on discrepancies in the victim's statements, asserting that such decisions undermine the trial process. The Court held that the High Court's decision to grant bail was improper and should not have been entertained once the trial was underway, thereby reinforcing the principle that the trial must reach its conclusion before considering bail.
