Supreme Court Grants Bail to Pawan Bishnoi and Jagtar Singh in Sidhu Moosewala Murder Case

The Supreme Court granted bail to accused Pawan Bishnoi and Jagtar Singh in the 2022 murder case of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.

A Bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta noted that the trial involves about 180 prosecution witnesses, making it likely to take considerable time to conclude. The Court also considered that both accused had spent over three years in custody while the trial had progressed slowly.

The two had approached the apex court challenging the order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court denying them bail.

Considering prolonged incarceration and the expected delay in trial, the Court granted them bail.
