BHAGWAN KEWAT vs STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH — Crl.A. No. 2027/2026

Summary: The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed Bhagwan Kewat's criminal appeal, setting aside the High Court's order that denied him bail. Kewat was accused of attacking the complainant's mother-in-law in connection with an FIR registered in August 2024 under BNS sections 103(1), 109, and 3(5); however, the Court found that the main charge concerned the prime accused's assault with an axe causing death, and absence of injury documentation against Kewat warranted discretionary bail relief. The appellant was ordered released on bail with conditions including mandatory court appearance unless exempted, to be imposed by the jurisdictional court.
