Supreme Court Rules Courts Should Avoid Personal Morality in Bail Decisions
The Supreme Court ruled that courts should not impose personal moral views when deciding bail or criminal trial matters. This decision overturned a Madhya Pradesh High Court order that denied bail in a sexual assault case based on potential effects on social order and the victim's family's morals. The Supreme Court emphasized that bail decisions must rely on legal factors like the nature of the offence and risk of tampering with evidence, not subjective moral judgments.
