2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the appellant and the learned senior Additional Advocate General appearing for the respondent-State.
4. For that purpose, the appellant shall be produced before the Trial Court within a maximum period of one week from today. The Trial Court shall enlarge the appellant on bail, pending trial, on appropriate terms and conditions including the condition of regularly and punctually attending the Trial Court and cooperating with the Trial Court for early disposal of the case.
6. The appeal is accordingly allowed.
High Court cannot direct Trial Court to conclude trial of offence within a fixed period.
Bail conditions must be reasonable and not infringe upon the rights of the accused.
The court ruled that the High Court's refusal to grant bail was inappropriate due to the appellant's lengthy custody and lack of trial progress.
Bail granted under stringent conditions to ensure trial integrity and witness protection, emphasizing the necessity for cooperation from both the appellant and the State.
Prolonged incarceration with no prospect of the trial coming to an end makes a case for the grant of bail. Granting bail only for a limited duration is illegal and violates the right to liberty under....
The court may suspend a sentence pending appeal if the appellant has served a significant portion of the sentence and other co-accused have been granted suspension.
The principle that suspension of sentence and bail should be granted in cases of fixed term sentences when appeals are unlikely to be heard before the completion of the sentence.
