SC Rules Parity Not Sole Bail Ground
The Supreme Court of India said that just because someone else got bail doesn't mean another person accused of the same crime should automatically get bail too.
They explained that bail should be given after looking at all the details of the crime and the role of the person in it.
The court was talking about a murder case where one person got bail and others did too, just because they were all accused in the same case.
The Supreme Court said this was not the right way to decide on bail.
Supreme Court ruled that parity is not the sole ground for granting bail.
Bail should be granted considering the circumstances of the alleged offence.
The Allahabad High Court granted bail based on parity without considering all relevant factors.
The Supreme Court emphasized that the role of the accused in the crime is crucial in determining bail.
The case involved a murder in Uttar Pradesh where bail was granted based on parity.
