💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India has ordered that all bail applications stemming from a single First Information Report (FIR) should be heard by the same judge or bench in high courts to ensure consistency of opinions. This is to avoid an anomalous situation where some benches grant bail while others take a different view, as observed by the court. The direction won't apply if a judge dealing with bail matters hears other matters and not bail.
