SHIVABHAI URFE SHIVAMBHAI MANUBHAI JETHVA vs The State Of Gujarat Advocate - APP — 19/2026

Case Summary: FPA No. 19/2026 Court Decision: The Additional Sessions Judge granted conditional regular bail to the accused Shivabhai Urfe Shivambhai Manubhai Jethva in a POCSO Act case (Case No. 02/2024) with a bail bond of Rs. 15,000. The court imposed three key conditions: (1) the accused must remain present during trial proceedings, (2) bail will be automatically cancelled if the accused fails to appear, and (3) the accused must comply with all conditions from a previous conditional bail order dated 02/08/2024. Key Reasoning: Although the prosecution objected citing the accused's previous non-appearance and alleged breach of bail conditions, the court found the bail conditions reasonable given that: the accused had previously complied with bail terms during trial, no cogent evidence supported serious allegations, the accused comes from a poor laborer background, prolonged detention would cause family hardship, and constitutional principles favor bail as the rule and detention as the exception.
