That right cannot be defeated by imposing harsh or extraneous conditions beyond the bail bond. A direction requiring deposit of Rs. 5 crores was held to be outside the scope of statutory bail, and the condition was set aside. The petitioner was therefore entitled to statutory bail without the onerous deposit requirement. en-us Mon, 12 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 08 Jul 2020 10:59:12 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=288961 Statutory bail under Section 167(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure is triggered when the charge sheet is not filed within the prescribed period, and the accused acquires an indefeasible right to release if prepared to furnish bail.
