Criminal Law : Bail and its Application for Celebrities Explained by Supreme Court
It has been held in State of Karnataka v. Darshan [2025] GCtR 1423 (SC) that "in a democracy governed by the rule of law, no individual is exempt from legal accountability by virtue of status or social capital. Article 14 of the Constitution guarantees equality before the law and prohibits arbitrariness. It mandates that all persons – regardless of their popularity, power, or privilege – are equally subject to the law." "A celebrity status does not elevate an accused above the law, nor entitle him to preferential treatment in matters like grant of bail."
