[BREAKING] Condition To Deposit Amount In Corona Relief Fund For Bail Is Unjust & Improper: Kerala HC [Read Order]

Live Law  

The Kerala High Court on Tuesday quashed as "improper and unjust", the bail condition imposed by a Sessions Judge that the petitioner should deposit an amount of Rs 25,000/- towards the Corona Relief Fund. The Single Judge made reference to an earlier order of the High Court where, relying on the decision of the Supreme Court in Moti Ram v. State of Madhya Pradesh, it was held that the imposition of cash security or deposit of any amount for grant of bail is unjust, irregular and improper. The Sessions Judge while granting bail to the petitioner had directed him to deposit an amount of Rs 25,000/- towards Corona Relief Fund and produce the receipt before the said Court. "In view of the above categoric declaration of law, I find that Condition No.2 imposed by the learned Sessions Judge, that the petitioner should deposit an amount of Rs 25,000/- towards the Corona Relief Fund is improper and unjust.
