Aashish Yadav vs Yashpal

The Supreme Court examined the legality of bail granted by the High Court to accused respondents involved in a serious criminal case where a fatal shooting occurred during a marriage procession. The High Court's decision was based on parity, as other co-accused had already been granted bail. The Court scrutinized whether such parity justified the bail and whether the impugned order was appropriate given the gravity of the offence. The Court ultimately upheld the principles of bail in serious cases, emphasizing the need for careful judicial scrutiny.
