Holding
The Court exercised its discretion and granted temporary bail for one week on the condition of a Rs.10,000 personal bond.
Summary
The applicant, Bhaveshbhai Bavchandbhai DAFDA, filed a temporary bail application citing the need for financial assistance and the illness of his father. The Additional Public Prosecutor waived service of notice on behalf of the State. The Court examined the applicant's averments and the jail remarks, and considered its discretion under bail law. It found merit in the applicant's grounds and decided to exercise its discretion in his favour. Consequently, the Court granted temporary bail for a period of one week, subject to a personal bond of Rs.10,000 and the usual terms and conditions. The applicant must surrender to the jail authority at the expiry of the bail period.
Issues considered
- Whether temporary bail can be granted on the grounds of financial assistance and the applicant's father's illness
- Whether the waiver of service of notice by the Additional Public Prosecutor affects the grant of bail
- Whether the court's discretion under the bail provisions permits the issuance of a one‑week temporary bail
