Condition To Deposit Amount In PM CARES Fund For Granting Bail Is Improper: Madhya Pradesh HC Concurs With Kerala HC [Read Order]

Live Law  

The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Tuesday set aside the bail condition imposed by a local court that the petitioners should deposit an amount of Rs 25,000/- each, towards the PM CARES Fund. Two Bhopal residents Fahad Ahmed and Hafiz M Haseen had moved the High Court seeking quashing of this bail condition, on the strength of recent order passed by the Kerala High Court in Chinna Rao Swayamvarappu v. State of Kerala & Ors., whereby it was held that imposition of cash security or deposit of any amount for grant of bail is "unjust, irregular and improper". In doing so, the Kerala High Court had relied upon a decision of the Supreme Court in Moti Ram v. State of Madhya Pradesh. It is noteworthy however, that the Gwalior Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court has been regularly ordering release of prisoners onthis condition.
