    Summary The Bombay High Court granted bail to Madan Laxman Kongil, who was convicted of murder (IPC Section 302) and sentenced to life imprisonment in 2019. The court applied the Supreme Court's *Saudan Singh* precedent, which provides that convicts who have served over 10 years are entitled to bail unless extenuating circumstances exist. Since the applicant had served 10 years and 11 months with no criminal antecedents and no aggravated violence allegations, the court suspended his sentence and released him on bail with conditions including a Rs. 50,000 PR Bond and monthly police reporting.
