Surajsingh @ Ashish Jiledaar Singh v. the State of Maharashtra
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court rejected an application for suspension of sentence and bail during appeal pendency. The court held that the nature of the crime (armed robbery) and clinching evidence of eyewitness identification and recovery precluded bail, despite technical flaws in evidence.
What did the court decide?
The bail application is rejected; however, the hearing of the appeal is expedited and the Registry is directed to get the paper book immediately.
