Sword Attack Accused Denied Bail: High Court Cites Brutal Cruelty
The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Thursday, August 7, 2025, upheld the denial of bail to a man accused of a brutal sword attack. The court explicitly cited the extreme cruelty involved as a valid reason for rejecting the bail plea.
The severity of the crime was a key factor in the court’s decision. The judges highlighted the potential threat to societal safety if the accused were released.
The length of time spent in pre-trial custody was deemed irrelevant. The court noted that the minimum sentence for such a serious offense justified the continued detention.
This ruling reinforces the judiciary’s commitment to ensuring justice and public safety. It sends a strong message that violent crimes, especially those involving extreme cruelty, will not be tolerated. The decision will likely impact future bail applications in similar cases across the state.
