ASHOK SANDEEP SINGH vs THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH — SLP(Crl) No. 3314/2024

Case Summary: SLP(Crl) No. 3314/2024 Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed Ashok Sandeep Singh's petition and reduced the bail surety from Rs 10 lakhs to Rs 25,000, finding that the excessive surety amount effectively defeated his right to bail. The Court held that unreasonably high surety quantum infringes Article 21 constitutional rights and modified the trial court and High Court orders accordingly. Key Direction: The petitioner must now furnish a personal bond of Rs 25,000 with sureties in the same amount to secure his release in FIR No. 64/2023 (charges under IPC Sections 409, 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120B).
