'Too Harsh For Her 2-Months Old Infant': Gujarat High Court Grants Bail To 70-Yrs-Old Woman Accused Of Fraud

Live Law  

The Gujarat High Court has recently granted bail to a 70 years old woman, having a two month old infant, for commission of offences u/s 406, 420, 114, 467, 471 and 120-B of IPC and Sections 66, 66 of the Information Technology Act and Sections 14, 14 of the Foreigners Act. While determining grant of bail, the High Court noted that the Accused-woman was in jail since March 2022 and the investigation was now over with the chargesheet being filed. Justice Niral Mehta opined further that it would be 'too harsh' for the infant child if the mother were to remain in jail: "Considering the limited role of the present applicant and more particularly keeping in mind that the applicant is a lady having infant child of 2 months and at present, she is on temporary bail and the period of temporary bail is going to be over today… normally this Court would not entertain the regular bail while the applicant is on temporary bail and not within the custody, however, considering the peculiar fact that the applicant, who is a lady, is carrying two months infant child with her, it would be too harsh for the child and the mother in such situation to surrender with the jail authority concerned when this Court is inclined to grant bail." Reiterating the impact of mother's detention on the two-month old infant, the High Court directed the release of the Applicant on a bond of INR 10,000.
