Allahabad HC Grants Bail to 32 in 35-Year-Old Caste Violence
Imagine a fight that happened a long time ago in a place called Agra.
Some people were found guilty because of this fight and were sent to jail.
But now, a big court, the Allahabad High Court, has said these people can go free for now while they wait for their appeal.
The court noted the appeal could take a long time and that the people were on bail before.
Most of them are also older and have health problems.
They have been in jail since May 28, 2025.
The court decided it was fair to let them out while waiting for the appeal to be decided.
The Allahabad High Court granted bail to 32 people convicted in a 1990 caste violence case.
The violence occurred in the Kagaraul police station area of Agra district.
A court in Agra sentenced the accused to five years imprisonment on May 28, 2025.
The convicts' counsel argued they were falsely implicated, and the trial court misread evidence.
The court noted the appeal's potential duration and the convicts' prior bail status.
