SATISH SINGH vs THE STATE OF BIHAR — SLP(Crl) No.

The Supreme Court dismissed the SLP filed by Satish Singh, convicted under Section 304-B IPC (dowry death) and sentenced to life imprisonment, upholding the Patna High Court's rejection of his bail application under Section 389 Cr.P.C. The Court found no reason to interfere with the High Court's assessment on merits. However, given the COVID-19 lockdown hardship faced by the petitioner's physically handicapped wife and minor children, the Court granted liberty to file a fresh application before the High Court, which shall be considered on merits.
