Holding
The Court exercised its discretion to grant temporary bail on medical grounds, subject to a personal bond and surrender conditions.
Summary
The petitioner, Dhirubhai Laxmanbhai Chudasama, filed an application for temporary bail on the ground of needing medical treatment while in custody. The Additional Public Prosecutor waived service of notice on behalf of the State, allowing the application to proceed. The Court examined the applicant's averments and the jail's remarks, and exercised its discretion in favor of the applicant. It held that the medical grounds justified a temporary release, subject to conditions. Consequently, the Court ordered the applicant to be released on temporary bail for seven days upon furnishing a personal bond of Rs.10,000. The order also directed the applicant to surrender to the jail authority at the expiry of the bail period.
