Holding
The court exercised its discretion and granted temporary bail for seven days subject to a personal bond and reporting conditions.
Summary
The applicant, Devendra @Bunty Krishana Murari Mishra, filed a criminal miscellaneous application seeking temporary bail on the ground that he needed to provide financial assistance to his family. The Additional Public Prosecutor waived service of notice on behalf of the State. The Court, after hearing the applicant’s averments and considering the jail remarks, exercised its discretion in favour of the applicant. It granted temporary bail for a period of seven days, subject to a personal bond of Rs.10,000 and usual conditions, including surrender at the end of the period. The order also directed the applicant to report to the nearest police station on the 3rd and 5th days of the bail period. The rule of service was made absolute and direct service permitted.
Issues considered

- Whether the court may exercise discretion to grant temporary bail despite the prosecution’s waiver of notice
- Whether the conditions imposed, including bond and police reporting, are appropriate for temporary bail
