SC/ST Act Bail | Hostile Witness & Lack of Direct Allegation Justify Relief Under Section 14-A(2) : MP HC
Madhya Pradesh High Court grants bail in an SC/ST Act case, holding that hostile witness testimony and absence of direct allegations against the accused weaken the prosecution's case. The ruling underscores that bail under Section 14-A(2) of the Act is permissible when key witnesses turn hostile and no overt act is attributed to the accused.
