'When Lockdown Lifted, There Would Be More Chances Of Crimes": Madras HC Denies Bail To Man Accused Of Robbery [Read Order]

Live Law  

'When the lock down is lifted, there would be more chances of crimes like robbery, as individual income has suffered on account of the lock down', observed the Madras High Court on Friday, denying bail to a robbery accused who has been in custody for almost 2 months. The petitioners, who were arrested and remanded to judicial custody on March 18 for the offence under Sections 341, 294, 392, 397, 506 IPC sought bail. "Considering the above facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that the bail petition filed by the co-accused is dismissed and also of the fact that the investigation is pending, this court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail", decided the High Court. If the lock down is lifted, there would be more chances for these kinds of crimes, since the individual income is suffered due to the lock down.
