Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's order granting bail under Section 437 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, while imposing conditions including the removal of a wall at the appellants' expense and handing over possession of disputed property to the complainant. The Court held that the conditions were excessive and not justified, emphasizing that bail should not be contingent upon onerous conditions unrelated to the merits of the case. The appeal was allowed, and the conditions imposed by the High Court were set aside.
