In Kaushal Singh v. State of Rajasthan, 2025 (SC) 967, the Supreme Court expunged adverse remarks made by the Rajasthan High Court against a subordinate judicial officer while dealing with a bail matter. The Court held that strictures passed without giving the officer an opportunity to be heard violate natural justice and judicial propriety. It also urged all High Courts to frame rules requiring bail applicants to disclose their criminal antecedents, ensuring greater transparency in bail proceedings.
