According to the Supreme Court, under what conditions can a state oppose bail

The Supreme Court states that a state cannot use 'serious charges' as the sole reason to oppose bail.
  • A state can oppose bail if there is a significant risk that the person charged may flee or fail to appear for trial.
  • If there is a danger that the person charged may tamper with witnesses or evidence, the state can also oppose bail.
  • If the person charged poses a threat to public safety or the community, the state can request bail to be denied.
  • However, the Supreme Court has ruled that simply because the charges are serious or the crime is heinous, it is not sufficient grounds for denying bail.
  • The decision to grant or deny bail should be based on the specific circumstances of the case and the likelihood of the accused appearing for trial.
