Court :
Punjab & Haryana High Court
Brief :
It is settled principle that bail is the rule and jail is the exception and mere seriousness of the charge is not a factor to be taken into account while denying the valuable right of liberty. The office committed by the petitioner was bailable under Section 69(3) and Section 132(4) but inspite of that the onerous conditions had led the petitioner to continue be in incarceration. The High Court held that the said condition thus suffers from the vice of unreasonability and cannot stand the test of judicial scrutiny.
