The petitioner, Zakir Rafiqbhai Rehmanbhai, filed a temporary bail application from jail, citing the need to provide financial assistance to his family. The Additional Public Prosecutor waived service of notice on behalf of the State. The Court examined the applicant's grounds and the jail remarks, and exercised its discretion in his favour. It partially allowed the application, granting temporary bail for seven days upon furnishing a personal bond of Rs.10,000 and imposing conditions to appear before the police on the 3rd and 5th days and to surrender after the bail period. The order was communicated to the jail authority for implementation.
Issues considered
