Bail Mandated Where No Direct Role in Fatal Injury Alleged | Allahabad HC Emphasizes Proportionality & Jail Overcrowding : Allahabad HC

Allahabad HC grants bail to an accused in a homicide case where the FIR and witness statements fail to establish a direct role in causing fatal head injuries. The court underscored the principles of proportionality, the accused’s clean record, and systemic issues like jail overcrowding and trial delays as grounds for bail, reinforcing Supreme Court guidelines on bail jurisprudence.
