Allahabad High Court grants bail to lawyer convicted for stalking woman judge

The Allahabad High Court granted bail to a lawyer convicted of stalking a woman judge. The lawyer had been sentenced by the trial court for stalking, causing distress and harm to the complainant. The Court considered the lawyer’s conduct and the nature of the case while granting bail, stating that while the offense was serious, it did not warrant detention in the present circumstances. The judgment raised important discussions about the need for a balance between ensuring justice for victims of harassment and the rights of the accused, especially considering that the lawyer had already served a significant portion of the sentence. The ruling reinforced the importance of bail in cases where the accused poses no immediate threat.
