casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Criminal Appeal No. 1079 of 2001 Hukum Singh v. Raghu Nath & Anr. The Supreme Court granted leave and set aside the High Court's bail order for accused Raghu Nath, who was chargesheeted under IPC Sections 302/149 (murder with criminal assembly) for a February 20, 2001 incident. The Court held the High Court erred in releasing him on bail merely because he did not use a firearm—witness testimony confirmed he was armed with a 'kulhari' (axe) and part of the armed assembly. The Court directed Raghu Nath's immediate re-arrest and remand into custody, emphasizing the gravity of charges involving collective violence cannot be diminished by differential weapon use.
