Key Points: - The externment order was upheld, with findings that bail conditions sufficiency was considered and delay did not affect validity. (!) (!) - The authority must consider the sufficiency of bail conditions when passing an externment order, but there is no requirement to extract bail conditions verbatim in the order. (!) (!) - The last prejudicial activity considered was crime No.557/2024; the order noted the petitioner’s bail in last and last-but-one cases and assessed sufficiency of those bail conditions. (!) (!) (!) - There is no law precluding externment against a person on bail; however, the authority must consider whether bail conditions are sufficient to prevent repetition. (!) - Some delay in mooting the proposal and passing the externment order after the last prejudicial activity may be justifiable and does not necessarily sever the live link if minimal and the nature of externment is lesser than detention. (!) - All procedural safeguards were found to be complied with; the order is not vitiated. (!) - The petitioner’s contentions about lack of documents beyond FIR and lack of final reports were addressed, noting evidentiary sufficiency for initiating KAA(P) proceedings. (!)
