In Brief
The appellant, a student with no criminal history, was arrested for alleged offences including grievous hurt, rioting, criminal intimidation, criminal threats, and attempted murder, along with breaching the Arms Act, following an incident during a pleasure trip to Dalhousie. The Supreme Court found the incident was spontaneous rather than premeditated, noted the co-accused had already been released on bail, and held that granting bail was just and proper. The Court allowed the appeal and released the appellant on bail with sureties.
