Dowry death case: SC sets aside Patna HC’s ‘mechanical approach’ in granting bail to husband
New Delhi, March 27 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Supreme Court has set aside a bail order granted by the Patna High Court to a man accused in a dowry death case, terming the relief as “wholly unsustainable” and flagging a “mechanical approach” adopted in such serious offences. A Bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and Vijay Bishnoi allowed the appeal filed by the mother of the deceased and directed that the husband of the deceased woman surrender before the jail authorities within one week, failing which the trial court has been asked to issue a non-bailable warrant.
