In Brief
The appellants, accused of murder in a case involving a cross-community marriage, sought bail multiple times. The trial court granted bail after a charge-sheet was filed, but the High Court cancelled it. The Supreme Court upheld the cancellation, holding that the trial court improperly applied bail principles and ignored that the Supreme Court had already denied bail. The Court emphasized that bail cannot be granted arbitrarily, and established parameters—including the gravity of the crime, evidence, and prior judicial decisions—must guide such decisions. The appeal was dismissed and the appellants ordered to surrender to custody."
