Supreme Court Considers Larger Bench on Arrest Memo Error in Sonam Raghuvanshi Bail Case
The Supreme Court is considering referring to a larger Bench the legal question of whether a typographical error in the arrest memo, specifically citing a wrong statutory section, can invalidate an arrest and justify bail for Sonam Raghuvanshi, accused in her husband Raja Raghuvanshi's 2025 Meghalaya honeymoon murder. The Meghalaya High Court granted her bail citing procedural lapses, while the state government argues the error was clerical and bail inappropriate given the case's seriousness. The Court deferred further hearing to July 14, directing the state to submit arrest documents for review.
