Ajay Kumar Yadav vs. State of Uttar Pradesh and Ors.
When it comes to incidents of police officials being tortured in custody, the Supreme court has taken a more strict stance on bail. It found that the accused police official's involvement in the alleged offenses extended by beyond his emploment as a police vehicle driver, overturning the High Court's decision to grant bail to the accused official. The Court ordered the accused to appear before the CBI court after taking into account the seriousness of the charges, which included a death in custody. The seriousness of offences including torture while in custody is highlighted by this rulling, which stands in contrast to the standard bail policy.
