STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH Vs. JAGDISH SINGH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) SPECIAL leave to appeal is granted.

(2.) THIS Court has observed before, in more than one case, that when the High Court disposes of a Criminal Appeal it should set forth the reasons, even though briefly, in its order. That is a requirement necessitated by the plainest considerations of justice. We are constrained to remark that the repeated observations of this Court have not received the attention which they deserve. The impugned order before us does not disclose the reasons for making it. We trust that it will not be necessary for us to make these observations in any future case.

(3.) THE respondents shall be released on bail forthwith to the satisfaction of the learned Special Sessions Judge, Muzaffarnagar. It will be open to the High Court to make such further orders as it considers necessary in regard to the continuation of bail or cancellation of bill to this accused.
