Section 304 IPC | Bail Granted Due to Material Contradictions in Prosecution Evidence and Prolonged Pre-Trial Custody: MP HC

Madhya Pradesh High Court suspends a 10-year sentence under Section 304 IPC, emphasizing material contradictions in prosecution witness depositions and 22 months of pre-trial custody as grounds for bail. The ruling underscores the court's discretion to grant bail pending appeal where evidence reliability is seriously doubted, even in serious offences.
