The Incomparable Court of India has allowed safeguard to Sunil NS, too known as 'Pulsar' Suni, the prime blamed within the high-profile 2017 Kerala performing artist ambush case. The choice was made considering the drawn out period Suni has as of now went through in guardianship, surpassing seven a long time, and the probability that the trial may not conclude before long.
A bench of Justices Abhay S. Oka and Pankaj Mithal, in granting bail, noted that although 268 prosecution witnesses have been examined, the trial is progressing slowly, and it would take a considerable amount of time to complete, including recording statements from the nine accused. The court further pointed out that Suni's long incarceration, combined with the delays in trial, justified the bail.
The trial court will decide whether to impose strict conditions on Suni's release, as permitted by the court in granted bail to the Kerala government. This ruling follows the Kerala High Court's rejection of multiple of Suni's prior bail requests and the imposition of a fine on him for his repeated requests.
This is a major development in the ongoing trial, where renowned Malayalam actor Dileep is also being held accountable for allegedly planning the assault. The case's high prominence and drawn-out court proceedings have drawn attention.
