MENON EKKA @ MENON UJJANA EKKA vs UNION OF INDIA — Crl.A. No. 1744/2022

SUMMARY: The Supreme Court allowed Menon Ekka's criminal appeal, granting her bail during the pendency of her High Court appeal. The appellant, a female convicted of offences under Section 109 IPC and Sections 13(1)(e) and 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act (for possessing disproportionate assets), had already served 2 years and 9 months of her 7-year sentence. The Court released her on bail with conditions imposed by the Trial Court, partly considering her gender and substantial time already served, while directing the High Court to dispose of her appeal within six months to ensure timely judicial resolution.
