The Supreme Court dismissed Gujarat’s plea to cancel bail of a 23-year-old accused in the Vadodara crash case. It held that drug consumption alone and non-deliberate offence are not sufficient grounds to deny bail.
The Supreme Court of India ruled that once a bail order is signed, it cannot be recalled or reversed due to a staff member’s typing mistake. Invoking Section 362 CrPC, the Court restored anticipatory bail, holding that changing “allowed” to “rejected” amounts to an illegal review, not a clerical correction.
