KALU @ DURYADHAN PRADHAN vs STATE OF ORISSA — SLP(Crl) No. 3761/2000

The Supreme Court disposed of Kalu @ Duryadhan Pradhan's special leave petition challenging a High Court conviction order. The Court permitted the petitioner to approach the High Court again for suspension of sentence, requiring him to demonstrate that his role in the occurrence was not worse than co-convicts who had been granted bail with suspended sentences on 5.6.1998. The Court clarified that denying bail would be justified only if his role was shown to be different or worse than other released co-convicts.
