In Brief
The appellants were convicted by an appellate court based on the deposition of a single witness. They had been released multiple times on temporary bail, furlough, and parole without any misconduct or further criminal activity, and had no prior criminal record. The Supreme Court held that given these circumstances, the appellants should be released on bail with the condition that they engage in spiritual programmes or community services and produce regular certificates of participation. The appeals were allowed.
