“How is This Possible? We’re Surprised That The High Court Rejected Bail 4 Times, & Now the State is Challenging it After it’s Granted”: SC Slams West Bengal Govt. for Challenging Undertrial’s Bail

The Supreme Court scolded the West Bengal government for challenging an undertrial’s bail after four previous rejections, warning against further provocations. The accused, Rajdeep Roy, had been in custody for over three years for alleged misappropriation of rice worth Rs. 3 crore. The Court ultimately dismissed the state’s appeal, emphasizing the importance of respecting personal liberty in judicial processes.
