Summary

Lamba Trinath Gauda applied for temporary bail, claiming he needed to provide financial assistance to his family. He was arrested on 06-02-2025 and the jail report indicated adverse conduct due to misplacement of some papers, and he had not been released previously. The applicant waived service of the rule on the State and sought release on personal bond. The Court considered the applicant's financial hardship and the conduct report, and decided to grant temporary bail for a period of seven days upon furnishing a personal bond of Rs.5,000. The bail was conditioned on the applicant appearing at the nearest police station twice a week and surrendering to the jail authority after the bail period. The order was made absolute and communicated to the jail authority.
