New Delhi, July 24 -- The Supreme Court on Thursday cancelled the bail granted last month to Sonam Raghuvanshi, accused of murdering her husband while on their honeymoon in Meghalaya, observing that her continued freedom will hinder the ongoing trial. She has been directed to surrender in three weeks and apply for bail if the trial fails to conclude in six months. A bench of justices MM Sundresh and PB Varale passed the order on an appeal filed by the Meghalaya police challenging the June 29 order of the Meghalaya high court granting bail on the ground that she was not supplied with the grounds of arrest on June 9, 2025 when the police took her into custody from Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh. Senior advocate Ardhendumauli Prasad appearing for Raghuvanshi requested for time to surrender as she hails from Indore in Madhya Pradesh and is currently in Shillong as required by the conditional bail granted. The court allowed her three weeks to surrender and said, "In the event of the trial not proceeding and concluding in six months, the respondent will be at liberty to move fresh application for bail in which case, neither the present order nor earlier orders will come in her way." The accused, a resident of Indore in Madhya Pradesh, was arrested in June last year in connection with the killing of her businessman husband Raja Raghuvanshi. The couple had gone missing while vacationing in Meghalaya's Sohra area on May 23 last year. Subsequently, Raja's body was found in a deep gorge on June 2, 2025. The police have alleged that Sonam conspired with hired assailants to kill her husband for financial gains. The counsel appearing for Sonam defended the bail saying that she was not given grounds of arrest. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Meghalaya government, submitted that Sonam was not only given the grounds of arrest but also the relevant documents. Mehta said the allegations against Sonam are quite serious and the Meghalaya High Court erred in upholding her bail. The high court had upheld Sonam's bail on the grounds that the police failed to supply proper written grounds of arrest, noting a "total non-application of judicious mind" because the memo cited Section 403 (which does not exist in the context) instead of Section 103(1) (punishment for murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)....
