Holding
The court held that, in view of the medical emergency and the applicant’s clean jail record, temporary bail could be granted subject to a bond and police‑presence conditions.
Summary
The applicant, a wife filing in person, sought temporary bail for her husband, the accused, citing the urgent medical treatment required for their daughter and submitting medical documents. The State, represented by an Additional Public Prosecutor, opposed the bail. The court examined the circumstances, including the applicant’s clean jail record, and decided the matter warranted consideration. It granted temporary bail for ten days, subject to a personal bond of Rs.10,000, surrender to the jail authority at the end of the period, and the requirement that the accused report to the nearest police station twice during bail. The order was made absolute and communicated to the jail authority.
Issues considered
