In Brief
The Supreme Court considered Special Leave Petitions challenging a High Court's grant of pre-arrest bail to accused respondents. While declining to interfere with the bail granted, the Court noted that different High Courts have adopted conflicting views on pre-arrest bail criteria. The Court reminded High Courts of a recent Supreme Court decision dismissing a similar petition where the Telangana High Court took a contrary stance. The matter was referred to a three-judge Bench along with related cases to establish consistent legal principles governing pre-arrest bail across Indian courts."
