Ruled in favour of Jai Singh (Applicant)
In Short
Jai Singh was facing serious cyber crime charges and asked the High Court for bail while waiting for his trial. The court looked at the facts and saw that another person accused in the exact same case had already been granted bail earlier. Because of this fairness and the fact that Jai Singh had no criminal past, the court allowed his bail application.

What the Case Was About
Jai Singh was booked under cyber crime and cheating laws at a cyber crime police station in Etah. He approached the High Court to get bail so he could stay out of jail while his trial was pending before the lower court.
Judgment Date
October 9, 2026
The Outcome
The court ruled in favour of Jai Singh and allowed his bail application, directing that he be released after furnishing a personal bond and two sureties.
What the Court Looked At
- The court noted that another co-accused person in the same case, Rajeev Kumar, had already been granted bail by the court earlier.
- The court observed that Jai Singh had no prior criminal history recorded against him.
- The court decided to grant bail on the ground of parity, meaning fairness and equal treatment compared to the other accused.
"Prima facie the court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail."
What This Means For You
This case shows how important parity and a clean background can be when you are stuck facing criminal charges. If other people involved in the same case manage to get relief from the court, your lawyer can use that exact situation to argue for your freedom too. Having no past criminal record also works heavily in your favor when asking a judge for bail. However, getting caught up in a cyber crime case can instantly turn your life upside down and keep you locked away while investigations drag on.
