Entitlement to bail under PMLA was assessed against the statutory twin conditions in Section 45 and the constitutional right to speedy trial; the court applied the principle that bail is the rule and jail the exception and held that twin conditions do not permit indefinite pre-trial incarceration, especially where investigation is complete, evidence is largely documentary, trial has not commenced and no realistic prospect of early conclusion exists. The court found alleged non-cooperation was not established and cannot alone justify denial of bail, and therefore granted bail subject to sureties and conditions to secure attendance and prevent witness tampering; no view on merits was expressed.
