Regular bail in a large-scale economic offence was considered against the backdrop of the presumption of innocence and the principle that bail is the rule, subject to demonstrated risks of flight, witness tampering, or threat to society. Despite stricter standards generally applicable to economic frauds, prolonged pre-trial incarceration and inordinate trial delay were held incompatible with such rigours, particularly where the case rests predominantly on documentary evidence, the charge-sheet is voluminous with numerous witnesses, trial had not progressed to framing of charges, and similarly placed co-accused had already been granted bail.
