SANDEEP RAY vs STATE OF UTTARAKHAND Advocate - G.A., ,LALIT SHARMA,SURAIYA NAAZ — CRLA /462/2024

Outcome Summary: Bail granted. The High Court of Uttarakhand allowed the bail application of Sandeep Ray, who was convicted under IPC Sections 302, 307, and 406 for a 2016 incident involving a death. The court suspended his sentence pending appeal, citing significant inconsistencies: the initial post-mortem and inquest reports recorded the death as accidental, yet the FIR was filed hours later charging him with murder and attempt to murder under alleged political pressure. The appellant was ordered released on personal bond with two sureties pending the appeal hearing. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
