Seeking grant of bail - Petitioner's severe health condition (duodenal cancer) and his wife’s terminal illness, exacerbating his mental distress - The court found that the applicant’s medical condition met the criteria of 'sick' or 'infirm' under the proviso to Section 45(1) of the PMLA. The severity of his and his spouse’s health conditions justified a more humane consideration under the law. The court granted bail to the applicant for a period of two months, subject to several conditions aimed at ensuring that the applicant does not flee or tamper with evidence. These included staying within the jurisdiction, surrendering his passport, and not contacting co-accused or engaging in similar activities.
