Madhya Pradesh High Court Recalls Bail Orders Issued Due to Typographical Error in Murder Case

The Madhya Pradesh High Court recently recalled two mistaken bail orders in a murder case after a typographical error resulted in a wrongful grant of bail to one accused and dismissal of another’s plea.

The error came to light when counsel for a co-accused flagged the swapped outcomes. A Bench of Justice Rajesh Kumar Gupta acknowledged the genuine mistake, quashed both orders, and scheduled fresh hearings. 

The case concerned a July 5, 2024, incident when three men were accused of assaulting a man, leading to his death.
