Holding
Temporary bail was denied because the applicant had previously absconded after being released on bail.
Summary
The applicant, an under‑trial prisoner charged with a serious offence under the Indian Penal Code, applied for temporary bail through jail. The court noted that the applicant had previously been released on temporary bail but had absconded for 287 days before being recaptured by police. The learned Sessions Judge had also recorded this conduct. Considering the prior absconding and the Sessions Judge’s order, the court found no sufficient ground to grant bail. Consequently, the application for temporary bail was rejected. The order was directed to be communicated to the jail authorities.
Issues considered
- Whether temporary bail should be granted to an under‑trial accused who previously absconded after being released on bail
- Whether the prior order of the Sessions Judge and the applicant's history of absconding preclude further bail
