"This is the perverse exercise of discretionary powers in grant of bail to accused," remarked a two-judge bench of the top court, headed by Justice J B Pardiwala and Justice R Mahadevan.

The top court, before reserving the verdict, heard submissions of senior advocates Siddharth Luthra, appearing for the state government, and Siddharth Dave and others, representing the accused in the case.

RAHUL'S REIGN OF RELENTLESS DEFEATS

IT began not with a whisper, but with a political detonation across the Gangetic plains. Last week, Bihar, always a keen weathervane for shifting political winds, delivered a verdict so mortifying for the Congress that even its most seasoned apologists struggled to dress it up. Contesting 61 seats, the party staggered out with a miserable six. It wasn't a defeat-it was a spectacle of collapse. And at its centre, as always, stood Rahul Gandhi, the prudish prince of a shrinking empire, presiding over the most dramatic political implosion in the history of a once-dominant national party.
