The Supreme Court gave pre-arrest bail to Punjab officer Gursewak Singh in a 2021 corruption case, criticizing the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s handling of his plea as “cryptic and unusual.” The bench said the officer’s non-arrest for four years itself justified bail.
The Delhi High Court rejected a plea to extend parole for a convict serving a 182-year prison sentence in a graft case linked to 344 complaints from home buyers. The court emphasized that parole is a privilege, not to be extended indefinitely for settlement efforts. The petitioner’s appeals were dismissed due to alleged misappropriation of funds.
