Orders in this case
SUMMARY The Supreme Court granted bail to appellants Basant Kumar Kaushik and Deepak Bandhe in a corruption case involving alleged irregularities in the "Hamar Lab" healthcare procurement scheme in Chhattisgarh, which caused approximately Rs. 411 crore loss to the state. The Court set aside the High Court's rejection of their bail applications, finding that flight risk and witness tampering concerns were adequately addressed through passport surrender and other conditions, and noting the chargesheet was already filed with evidence seized. The appellants were ordered released on bail subject to furnishing bail bonds and strict conditions including mandatory trial attendance and non-interference with witnesses.
