Holding
Condition No. (iii) of the bail order dated 17-11-2025 is relaxed, allowing the applicant to be in the jurisdiction of Talegaon Dabhade Police Station from 18-02-2026 to 28-02-2026.
Summary
The applicant, Gaurav Chandrabhan Khalde, filed an interim bail application seeking relaxation of condition No. (iii) of a bail order dated 17-11-2025, which restricted his movement. He argued that he needed to travel to attend his brother's marriage scheduled for 26-02-2026. The intervenor objected, contending that the relaxation could enable the applicant to threaten the first informant and prosecution witnesses. The State's counsel supported the intervenor's objection. After hearing all parties, the Court partially allowed the application, relaxing condition No. (iii) and permitting the applicant to be within the jurisdiction of Talegaon Dabhade Police Station from 18-02-2026 to 28-02-2026. The interim application was thereafter disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether a bail condition restricting the accused's movement can be relaxed for personal reasons such as attending a family function
- Whether relaxation of the bail condition poses a risk of intimidation of witnesses and the informant
Subjects
- bail
- bail conditions
- interim application
- witness intimidation
- criminal procedure
