In Brief
This case involved an appeal against a High Court order granting bail to an accused (Mukesh Chaudhary) in an alleged honor killing case where the appellant's husband was killed because his family did not approve of their marriage. The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's bail order, finding that the mere examination of the appellant as a witness did not constitute sufficient change in circumstances to warrant bail when the Court had earlier found prima facie material against the accused. The Court directed the accused to surrender and mandated expeditious conclusion of the trial within one year."
