Trial Courts & High Courts Try To Play Safe In Bail Matters, Have Forgotten 'Bail Is The Rule' : Supreme Court In Manish Sisodia's Case

The Supreme Court observed that trial courts and high courts tend to "play safe" when deciding bail applications in high-profile cases like Manish Sisodia's Delhi Liquor Policy case. The court pointed out the reluctance of lower courts to grant bail in such politically sensitive matters, stressing the need for judicial independence and fairness. The court's decision on Sisodia's bail plea will set a precedent on handling bail in cases involving serious allegations.
