    Case Summary: Nayan Jitendrabhai Rathod v. Government of Gujarat (1840/2026) The court granted bail to 21-year-old Nayan Jitendrabhai Rathod, a diamond worker arrested on charges under BNS sections 74, 75(2), 352, 54 and POCSO Act section 12, related to allegedly applying color to a minor during Holi with sexual intent. The judge applied the principle that "bail is a rule and jail is an exception," considering the applicant had no criminal antecedents, a cross-complaint existed against the complainant, and prolonged custody would constitute pretrial conviction. Bail was granted with Rs. 25,000 personal bond and stringent conditions including monthly police station reporting, residence restrictions near the victim, and prohibition from leaving Gujarat.
