New Delhi, Aug. 14 -- The Supreme Court on Wednesday cancelled the bail of two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar, the prime accused in the 2021 murder of junior national wrestling champion Sagar Dhankar, terming the alleged offence "shocking and serious" and noting that the Delhi High Court "erred" in granting him relief despite Kumar's conduct and the possibility of him influencing the trial. A bench of justices Sanjay Karol and Prashant Kumar Mishra set aside the March 4 order of the high court, which had released Kumar on bail citing his prolonged incarceration of over three and a half years and the slow pace of trial. The bench has now directed that Kumar surrender within one week, while allowing him the liberty to seek bail afresh if there is a change in circumstances. The judgment, authored by Justice Karol, stressed that while personal liberty is a sacrosanct constitutional value, it cannot be interpreted in a way that dilutes the seriousness of heinous crimes or undermines public confidence in the justice system. "The national capital was made into a criminal playground to settle scores, with no regard for the law of the land," noted the bench, underlining allegations of abduction, violent assault with dangerous weapons, and recovery of a firearm and weapons from the scene....
