The Supreme Court declined to grant bail to petitioner Mahesh Khatri, noting his extensive criminal history (12+ cases since 2013) and repeated misuse of bail conditions. However, the Court expressed concern over prolonged trial delays, particularly a 12-year-old pending case, and issued notice to the prosecution to show cause why 15 trials remain unfinished. The State was directed to file a status report on all pending trials before the next hearing on 19.03.2025. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
