In Brief
Prabhakar Tewari challenged the High Court's order granting bail to the accused Vikram Singh in connection with serious criminal charges including murder and conspiracy. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's bail order, holding that while the offences alleged were grave and multiple criminal cases were pending against the accused, these factors alone do not justify denying bail. The Court emphasised that a High Court's discretion in granting bail must be assessed by examining whether it properly considered relevant materials, whether its reasoning is supported by evidence, and whether any manifest error exists in the order. Finding no such defects, the Court dismissed the appeal.
