Supreme Court Relaxes S.45 PMLA Conditions, Grants Bail Citing Long Custody & Time Needed To Complete Trial

The Supreme Court has granted bail to Ramkripal Meena, who was arrested in connection with the REET 2021 paper leak case. The court noted that Meena was not directly involved in the leak and had cooperated with the investigation. He has been accused of facilitating the cheating scandal but claimed that he was a victim of mistaken identity and had no direct role in the leak. The Court acknowledged that Meena had spent significant time in custody and noted that his continued detention was not justified. This decision comes amidst ongoing scrutiny and legal battles surrounding the REET 2021 examination process.
