The court emphasized the necessity of corroborative evidence in cases of examination fraud, reinforcing that bail is the rule and jail is the exception.
The court emphasized that bail is contingent upon the gravity of the offense, potential for evidence tampering, and public interest, especially in organized crime cases.
The court dismissed anticipatory bail petitions due to the serious nature of allegations against the petitioner, emphasizing the need for custodial interrogation and the risk of witness tampering.
Bail applications in serious criminal matters are to be evaluated on individual merit considering past decisions and severity of charges without guarantee of parity.
Bail is a rule, but denial is justified when serious allegations and criminal history indicate a likelihood of re-offending and tampering with evidence.
The court reaffirms that anticipatory bail is not to be granted where there is substantial evidence indicating involvement in serious offences affecting societal interests.
