https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=469204 Bail under MCOCA Section 21(4) was analysed against the twin requirements of reasonable grounds for believing the accused is not guilty and is unlikely to reoffend while on bail. The article notes that alleged repeated involvement in serious offences, association with the syndicate, prior conduct on interim bail, and absconding risk weighed against release, and prior discharge or acquittal in related matters did not by itself defeat a prima facie MCOCA case. Section 436A CrPC was treated as inapplicable where the offence carried death or life imprisonment, and Section 427(2) CrPC was held to concern sentencing rather than present bail entitlement. Delay in trial, though relevant, was not sufficient on its own to justify bail. en-us Thu, 30 May 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 10 Jun 2026 14:28:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=469204 Bail under MCOCA Section 21(4) was analysed against the twin requirements of reasonable grounds for believing the accused is not guilty and is unlikely to reoffend while on bail.
