Supreme Court overturns Patna High Court bail ruling, emphasizing case-based decisions.
The Supreme Court has overturned a Patna High Court ruling that required a man to post bail bonds six months after a bail order. The court emphasized that bail decisions must be based solely on the merits of the case, not arbitrary conditions. The case, involving the alleged possession of 40 liters of illicit liquor, will be reassessed by the High Court for a fresh decision. This ruling reinforces the principle that bail should not be unnecessarily delayed.
