Crl.A. No. 000505 - 000507 / 2021

Bail conditions imposed by a High Court must not be so onerous as to render the grant of bail illusory; where cash security requirements effectively negate the benefit of bail, courts may substitute such conditions with property security of equivalent value to the satisfaction of the Trial Court. As analyzed on casestatus.in, the Trial Court retains discretion to impose additional conditions ensuring the accused's presence and participation in pending proceedings.
