In criminal appeals against Allahabad HC’s bail grants to 13 accused in an interstate child trafficking racket arising from FIRs under Sections 363, 311 and 370(5) IPC, the Supreme Court highlighted kidnapping, miscarriages and sale of minors. Noting trafficking as a heinous violation of Articles 21 and 23, it faulted the HC’s mechanical bail orders for ignoring accuseds’ kingpin roles, recovered victims and witness-tampering risks. The Court cancelled bail, directed their surrender, ordered expedited trials, victim protection, special prosecutors, compensation, and mandated functional Anti-Human Trafficking Units. It underscored that bail requires balancing personal liberty with societal interests in serious crimes.
