Judgement - of Main CaseView PDF
Summary: The Supreme Court set aside the Allahabad High Court's order granting bail to Kunwarpal Singh (accused of murdering the petitioner's uncle) on May 22, 2026. The court found the High Court's decision to be non-reasoned and cryptic, holding that the absence of allegations during inquest proceedings cannot be used in isolation to negate compelling evidence including the FIR, chargesheet, post-mortem report, recovery of the murder weapon, and witness statements. The matter was remanded to the High Court for fresh consideration of the bail application in accordance with settled legal principles, with the accused ordered to surrender within one week.
