"It is the Constitutional duty of the Court to ensure that there is no arbitrary deprivation of personal liberty in the face of excess of State power," observed the Delhi High Court while granting bail to 6 accused persons in a riots case.

Accordingly, the Court also observed thus: "Bail jurisprudence attempts to bridge the gap between the personal liberty of an accused and ensuring social security remains intact.
