In Brief
A Special Leave Petition challenging the grant of bail to a respondent accused of offences was dismissed. The Court held that the respondent's alleged evasion of arrest until December 2018 and the pending additional charge sheet could not be grounds to deny bail. The Court observed that the investigating agencies' failure to arrest him earlier cannot be held against him, and since he was released on bail on 13 February 2019 with no evidence of breach of bail conditions, the petition lacked merit and was dismissed.
