Farhan Abdul Malik Khot vs State of Maharashtra

Bench: 2 — <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

A man convicted of terrorism-related offences and explosives violations sought bail while his appeal was pending. He had been granted temporary bail to care for his terminally ill mother suffering from advanced-stage cancer. The High Court refused regular bail, but the Supreme Court allowed the interim bail to continue for three additional months based on verified medical evidence of his mother's condition. The Court emphasized this was not full bail and would end after three months, when he must surrender to complete his sentence."
