LAL MUNI DEVI vs STATE OF BIHAR — Crl.A. No. 1626/2026

Summary The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's bail order and cancelled bail for the accused in a dowry death case. The accused, husband of a woman who died under suspicious circumstances within 1.5 years of marriage, was arrested on charges under Sections 103(1) and 80 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The Court ordered him to surrender within one week or face a non-bailable warrant, and directed trial completion within six months, expressing concern over mechanical bail grants in serious dowry cases.
