NEW DELHI, Mar. 28, 2024 (TBINN)
Observing that a police officer may wield more influence than an ordinary person, Supreme Court has set aside the bail granted to a police constable in case of custodial death.
A bench of justices Aniruddha Bose and Sanjay Kumar said a stricter approach is required to decide on the question of bail of a police official who is accused in a custodial death case.
“In cases of this nature, having regard to the overall influence a member of a police force may wield in connection with a case against them pertaining to custodial death, a stricter view is to be taken on the question of granting bail,” the court said.
