The India — Supreme Court of India is considering whether to refer to a larger bench the legal question of whether a typographical error in an arrest memo can invalidate an arrest and justify granting bail to Murder of Raja Raghuvanshi, accused of murdering her husband Murder of Raja Raghuvanshi during their honeymoon in India — Meghalaya. The India — Meghalaya High Court had granted bail citing a 'total non-application of judicious mind' due to the error. The Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing for July 21, 2026, on the India — Meghalaya government's plea challenging the bail. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta argued that the error was clerical and the crime was premeditated. The bench comprising Justices Manoj Misra and Chandrashekhar Bawankule indicated it may refer the matter to a larger bench to reconcile conflicting judgments on providing grounds of arrest.
