In Brief
Yasar Ayub Kapadia sought bail while in custody for over two years on charges of cheating, forgery, criminal breach of trust, and intimidation under the Indian Penal Code. The High Court had rejected his bail application. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, finding no justification for continued detention. The Court noted that investigation was complete, charge sheet filed, co-accused had been granted bail, the appellant was only 19 at the time of the alleged offences, and the trial would take considerable time. The Court set aside the High Court's order and granted bail to the appellant."
