https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=312866 Bail in a Prevention of Corruption Act matter was analysed on settled principles of personal liberty and custodial necessity, with the court emphasising that detention must be justified by investigation needs rather than moral disapproval of the allegation. As statements had already been recorded, no recovery remained to be made, and the applicant was in judicial custody, further imprisonment was not shown to be necessary. The apprehension of tampering with evidence was found insufficient, especially where the principal evidence was the complainant's testimony. The abscondence of a co-accused did not, by itself, warrant refusal, and the prosecution's reliance on alleged conduct was not supported by material showing instigation by the applicant. Bail was therefore to be granted subject to strict conditions. en-us Tue, 08 May 2001 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 12 Mar 2024 15:02:53 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=312866 Bail in a Prevention of Corruption Act matter was analysed on settled principles of personal liberty and custodial necessity, with the court emphasising that detention must be justified by investigation needs rather than moral disapproval of the allegation.
