The Supreme Court restored a Bihar hospital administrator’s bail in an alleged bribery case. It said the High Court could have rejected the Sessions Court’s reliance on the amount allegedly demanded without cancelling bail nearly a year after his release.
Judge / Bench — Justice J.B. Pardiwala and Justice Manmohan.
In Vishwajeet Singh @ Bishwajeet Ramanand v State of Bihar & Ors. (SLP(Crl.) 13108/2026, 6 November 2026), the Court noted that custody beyond 48 hours triggers deemed suspension for a public servant. It asked Bihar to examine his return to the same post.
