Holding
The court exercised its discretion and granted temporary bail for seven days with a bond and reporting conditions.
Summary
Viki R. Taretiya applied for temporary bail on the ground of financial assistance. The Additional Public Prosecutor waived service of notice on behalf of the State. The Court, after hearing the applicant's averments and considering jail remarks, exercised its discretion in favor of the applicant. The application was partly allowed, granting temporary bail for seven days upon furnishing a personal bond of Rs.10,000. The order also imposed conditions that the applicant surrender to the jail authority at the end of the bail period and report to the nearest police station on the 3rd and 5th days of the bail leave.
Issues considered
- Whether temporary bail can be granted on the ground of financial assistance
