Holding
The Court granted temporary bail for ten days on a personal bond with specified conditions, thereby allowing the petition in part.
Summary
The petitioner, Amit @ Vini, was arrested in January 2025 and remained incarcerated, prompting him to file a temporary bail application seeking a 30‑day release to provide financial assistance to his family. The Additional Public Prosecutor waived service on behalf of the State, and both parties were heard before the Hon'ble Justice P. M. Raval. Considering the petitioner's circumstances and the jail remarks indicating continued detention, the Court exercised its discretion in his favour. The Court granted temporary bail for ten days, subject to a personal bond of Rs.10,000 and conditions that the petitioner not leave Gujarat, report to the police station on alternate days, and surrender at the end of the period. The order was made absolute and direct service was permitted.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriate discretion of the Court in granting temporary bail to a petitioner already in custody?
- Whether the petitioner is eligible for temporary bail on the ground of providing financial assistance to his family.
- Whether the waiver of service by the Additional Public Prosecutor affects the grant of bail.
