MIRTUNJAY PRASAD VERMA vs UNION OF INDIA — SLP(Crl) No. 815/2001

CASE SUMMARY On 14/07/2003, the Supreme Court heard SLP(Crl) 815/2001 challenging a Patna High Court order. The Court disposed of the petition by ordering that bail granted to petitioner Mirtunjay Prasad Verma continue for the duration of the case on existing terms, discontinuing the previous practice of extending bail every six months for trial monitoring. The Court clarified that the CBI may apply for bail cancellation under law, and deliberate trial protraction or unnecessary adjournments would constitute grounds for cancellation.
