Accused granted bail in contraband case, no criminal past or flight risk apprehended.

Case Laws     Customs

August 27, 2024

An application seeking bail for recovery of contraband items was filed. The applicant submitted being falsely implicated. Considering the applicant's lack of criminal history, no flight risk or potential to influence witnesses or tamper with evidence, and the fact that contentions are yet to be tested at trial, the court granted bail. Additionally, co-accused in the case were previously granted bail. Given the severity of potential punishment if convicted and period of incarceration, and no apprehension expressed by the prosecution regarding fleeing justice or tampering with evidence, the court found the applicant entitled to bail at this stage without expressing opinion on merits. The applicant was ordered to be released on bail upon furnishing personal bond with two sureties to the court's satisfaction.
