SC upholds Baghel bail in liquor case
The Supreme Court upheld the bail of Chaitanya Baghel, son of Bhupesh Baghel, in two cases tied to the Chhattisgarh liquor scam and dismissed petitions by the ED and state government seeking its cancellation, while expunging adverse High Court remarks about the probe. The Court stressed that cancellation of bail depends on whether continued liberty would seriously prejudice justice, not merely the order’s formal reasoning, and clarified that the High Court’s critical observations were removed from the record as the investigation continues.
